that this wholesale detractor, this pitiless
critic, this defamer of other mems integrity
is himself guilty of questionable practices
All the time he was engaged in his bitter
assaults upon the men and agencies which
were trying to give this country an air fleet,
he was secretly seeking to promote his per-
sonal interest, gain access to confidential

his friendly relations with the President.
OF course. these revelations will not stay

now undertaken by the Department Of Jus

The government owes it to the men whose
official acts are being inquired into to arrive
at the exact truth concerning them, but Mr.
Bofglum can no longer figure as the hero OF
the. hour or as the disintercstcd reformer
whose only passion was the public service
ana whose only aspiration was his country's
welfare
In reviewing all the circumstances of this

In many respects America is better

practically inexhaustible supply OF
