[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR, I feel
sure you have the sympathy of the great majority of your readers in the " venomous, vitriolic and scurrilous "- I cull these epithets from your Glasgow correspondent—and add unfair and palpably false attack made upon you by him for your perfectly lionest and straightforward criticism of the public policy of the Prime Minister. Serious people thank God when newspaper editors like yourself dare to criticize—without fear or favour—the words and actions of Ministers, Whether popular idols or not. Mr. Lloyd George is surely the last man to wish that, because of his great services to his country, he should be immune from any further criticism. How very deeply must he—as indeed would any decent man—regret such advocacy as that of your Glasgow correspondent, and how earnestly cry "Savo me from my friends."—I am, Sir, &c., AN OLD AND CONSTANT READER OF THE " SPECTATOR."
