we'll aware that the foreign members there
Of were only elected with the object of en-
couraging the free-trade movement in other

controlling the policy of the club.
The letter concludes with saying now
that Mr.. Chamberlain has been reminded
of these facts. unless he Immediately and
publicly withdraws his statement, 1t "can
only be concluded that 1t is part Of your
plan Of campaign to try to create prejudice
against your opponents by means of state
ments you know to be untrue
