Two items: A retained copy of Guedalla’s three-page letter to Churchill, dated April
20, 1938, explaining that American opinion in Washington and elsewhere had been “embar-
rassingly pro-British” until March, when it was “replaced by a feeling that H[er] M[ajesty’s]
G[overnment] had turned its back on the free peoples and decided to fraternise with the gang-
sters [Nazis]” * Philip Guedalla.
