Notes and topics

BR, writing to The Guardian, takes issue with articles written by David Holden and the "... attempt on the part of the Greek government to deceive the British public about the facts." BR mentions that Queen Frederika and King Paul were "public supporters of Hitler", and there is no justification for the "physical torture of political opponents".

The line "(2) British M.P.'s signed a statement demanding the release of the prisoners" has been added to the letter in ink. Also present is a copy of the letter, document .178878, TL(CAR).
