The Secretary of State for War, the
Marquis of I,ansdowne, said the publ
cation was the only course open to the
government. He quoted the Queens
regulations as to publication of such
documents. and pointed out three cases
i'll the Afghan war In which censorious
dispatches were published, adding that
In those cases other employment was
found for the generals. Withholding
the papers would have damaged the
