THE PRIME MINISTER
SIR,—.After the recent Parliamentary debates and the newspaper discus- sions arising therefrom, your article and Mr. Harold Nicolson's marginal comment on the Prime Minister in the last issue of The Spectator were like springs of water in a dry land. You speak for the common man in this country, the Empire and all over the world. We ordinary people will not and cannot forget that we owe almost everything to our Prime Minister—perhaps our very lives and, what is dearer than life, our freedom. As the war rises to its climax, the responsibility resting upon that one pair of shoulders grows heavier still. We cannot lighten it, but perhaps we can help him to carry it by assuring him of our "admiration, hope, and love "—and, above all, our prayers.—Yours faithfully,
