Sir, - Certain elements in Austria, Germany, Chile, Japan and elsewhere will doubtless agree with Oliver O'Connor's view (Opinion, August 31st) that, so long as an event happened long enough ago, and the people responsible are sufficiently old now, there is no point in looking too closely at what exactly it is that they are alleged to have done. It might upset them! - Yours, etc.,
