He could not allow any impression to
exist that he in any way supported the
vile and Infamous falsehoods spread on
the Continent concerning the behavior of

eloquent defence. He equally acquitted

The refugee camps were a necessity for
clearing the country. They were doubt
less mismanaged at first, but they are not
easy to manage. Lord Rosebery also
