of the statements made formally by Mr..

1T has been my settled purpose to
avoid. as far as possible. a discussion
in the public press of the merits of any
phase of the controversies now exist
ing within the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society. IL is properly a matter of
concern with me to avoid any express
sion which will embarTass the board
of directors in the discharge of its du-
ties or that viii give rise to premature
judgments on any matter affecting the
society or any individual. l am con-
firmed in this resolve by the fact that
an examination of the society was
asked for by me through a letter ad-
dressed to the superintendent of insur
ance on Feb. y. 1903. This examination
is now in progress It's result will es-
tablish the truth or falsity of many
matters which are now being alleged
on the one hand and controverted on
the other.
