Dental conversations of this sort are not
divulged by men OF honor.

them. Since he had brought up the sub
Jet it had been generally discussed both
in the community and in the Cabinet

friendly foreign powers. | do not see
how those charges can be thought TO be
true. l brought the questions of my
own accord Just as l introduced the con-
