Kanaar received BR's letter of December 15 this morning. [Yet BR's letter on answering Christie in Forward in the Kanaar papers, UCLA, is dated Dec. 23; Kanaar wrote on it that he received and answered it on Jan. 14, 1946.]

The letter had followed him from Berlin. Kanaar has been demobilized and is spending the last five weeks of his release leave in London writing a book about his experiences in Germany. "The chief aim of this book is to reveal what the Russians are like."

He is speaking publicly about conditions in Germany, and he hopes BR can help him in being able to speak to "more of the Lords". Kanaar has written at once to Forward requesting space for an answer to Tom Christie's article. Kanaar has written an article on land reform in East Germany, which has been accepted by The Nineteenth Century and After. Kanaar would like to meet with BR in London in the near future.

(An article by Bisley is not known, but one by Tim Christie is. It appeared on Dec. 5, 1945. Kanaar wrote a reply to it, mentioning Christie in the subtitle. See record 68422. Christie's article was in reply to BR's "The German Disaster". Kanaar no longer mentions Bisley.)
