BRITAIN AND DISPARAGING CRITICISM
TO THE EDITOR Sir.—Mr Warrington Taylor persists —and with increased acidity. Nevertheless, I still think that when a friend's house is being swept by fire the one immediate duty of his neighbours is to help to gel it out, and not to flood him with accusations of defects in the structure and with advice how better to rebuild it. I also think that if a pamphlet were being published to-day, “ How to Help to Win the War,” the laboured remarks and garnered extracts, the subject of this present correspondence, would not find a place in the pamphlet. Advice is cheap, and destructive criticism easy (even if column length). —I am, etc., November G. First Things First.
