with self-respect, indulge in a public con-
,roversy with q subordinate, and will
not, therefore, submit any reply. On the
other hand, it is claimed that the gravity
Of issue raised BY Controller Clark, and
the effect it will be likely to have on the
country, demands immediate official con-
tradiction.
