from all possible aspects. II was an error
Of judgment and not Of intention
Lord Murray also expressed deep regret
that he had invested the Liberal party 6
funds in Marconi shares. and more pa
tlcuarly that his action had embarrassed
the party. He said he had personally as
sumed the heavy losses resulting from
the investment and he trusted that those
who had commented harshly would recos
nize that II was difficult to avoid mis-
takes. He concluded that he had done
nothing which reflected upon the honor
and integrity OF British public life. Fur.
ther discussion was postponed unit
Thursday.
Niscount Miner and other peers have
announced that it is their purpose to dis
cuss on that occasion the questions Of

The committee, It is understood, does
