ENGLAND'S CRITICS [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Sra,—I read with much interest the two foreign articles in the Spectator for February 4th—those by M. Andre Siegfried and by my good friend, M. William Martin. As, however, these two genial critics of England base their animadversions on practically opposite points of view, perhaps a plain Briton like myself may take comfort in the thought that our country, following a middle course between the desires of M. Siegfried and M. Martin, may very possibly have acted in the best manner possible.—I am, Sir, &c., JAMES F. MUIRHEAD.
