author of the resolutions adopted by the
Board of Trade, and ask him for his author
lity for saying there was systematic opposi-

couldn't give it, he intended to throw the

mittee-man admitted, in that conversation,
that heknew one man who had seen Robin
sons remonstrance, thus admitting that
there was, to his knowledge. q systematic
opposition Why didn't he report the fact?
Why didn't he call on Robinson and ask for
a copy of that paper and the names attached
| to 1t. and ask what WAS done with the Ori1l-
nal? No matter what Robinson's answer
might have been-report the answer to the
Board of Trade. The com mittee failed to
do what they were sent out for. We're they,
too, paralyzed by Robinson? They certainly
made most ridiculous failure land when
sthey had plenty of ground to work on.
