FOREIGN OFFICE

Department of Information.

27th September, 1917.

Professor Gilbert Murray,
Board of Education,
Whitehall, S. W.

My dear Murray,

My secretary tells me that you have been speaking
to him about the publication of your articles in "The Daily
News". I think the best plan will be for you to have them
published by some private publisher and get "The Daily News"
and the Liberal Publication offices to help in their sale.
It would certainly be a mistake, I think, to have them pub-
lished by the Liberal Publication people, as that would give
them too much a public party stamp. As I told you, a Tory like
myself, in reading them, was not cognisant of any party atmos-
phere.

If they are published in English we shall be very
glad to help in their circulation in America and elsewhere.

Yours ever,

John Buchan
