THE "SPECTATOR" AND THE PRIMP, MINISTER.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")
SIR,—In your " Topics of the Day " of November 19th issue I think you have done Peace for Ireland an incalculable injury by your venomous and vitriolic attack upon the Prime Minister. As a reader of many years' standing I protest in the strongest possible manner against your continued backbiting of the man who at the present moment is bearing the burden and heat of the day in connexion with the Empire, and whose shoes you are unworthy to loose. What would the country be like were such as you handling affairs at the present time? It is easy for an armchair critic to pour out innuendo upon innuendo upon the worker; it would be much better were such people taking an active part in the affairs of the country. You need not worry about Ulster ; she will be kept right notwithstanding all your howling in the newspapers in connexion with the Peace Negotiations, and I sincerely trust you will be more moderate in your tone and fairer in your criticism in future, and also consider the feelings of your readers as well as those whom you are so scurrilously attacking.—I am, Sir, &c., U Great Clyde Street, Glasgow. JAMES R. SIIANKLAND.
