SIR,—As a friend of many years' standing of the 1Pectator, I feel at length constrained to write to you INN ask whether these long-continued, bitter criticisms °t Mr. Macmillan, Mr.' Selwyn Lloyd, Mr. Lennox- li,,)Yd and other members of the Government—the `'fficulties of whose task can hardly be over-rated- r'aY not be brought to a close or, at any rate, if not brought to a close, whether they may not be mitigated acir suspended for a merciful space. The Spectator, for p.ennsiderable time. has seemed quite unable to leave them alone, and 1 feel sure that the repeated and h4Ping criticisms, not only by Taper but by others, 1°1Never amusing the former may be, will not be h°ing the paper any good. In the last few months 1 have come across three really influential people who "aye ceased to read the Spectator for this reason. I respect the policy which the Spectator claims—, hreeIY to criticiSe any ministry. which may be in ',°1ver—but is it not. in these sustained and personal attacks, losing a sense of fair play as well as of pro- 'ortion?—Yours faithfully,
Cathedral Vicarage, Wakefield
