stated that the statements made by Sir Ru-
fus Isaacs and Mr. Lloyd George were not
acceptable, being too Qualified and Insult
the foregoing and SAID he never spoke more
reluctantly, or with a gseater sense of re-
sponsibility. He agreed with the statements
nude by the Ministers, and thought the OPP
POSITIONS motion was uhgenerous. The
charges had been disptoved, aud therefore

betrayed no trust, and they retained
the confidence of their associates. He asked
the House to repndinte the infamous
calumnies and accept the Minister'S de-
claratlons, which We're as satisfactory na
he had ever heard (che~rs). Mr.. Bnlfour
