Blake has read BR's article in Forward. Overall, he finds it correct, but points out that the issue of coal in the Ruhr is more to do with a lack of transportaion, not of it being stolen or it being shipped to liberated countries. He reports that Freya Moltke, a refugee he had mentioned in a previous letter, has read "Germany & Europe", and corroborates what BR and Gollancz have said.
