THE LIBERALS AND SUEZ .

SIR,—ln last week's Spectator Pharos suggests that 'a gulf' exists between Mr. Jo Grimond and myself on 'the Suez fiasco.' In the Carmarthen by-election, writes Pharos, 'the Liberal candidate was an enthusi- astic supporter of Suez, and suddenly, as if by magic, all Liberal criticism, moral and political, of the Suez fiasco dried up.
