On Thursday in the course of the examination of Sir
Alexander King a good deal was said about an article in the Spectator. We cannot on a Friday deal with the matter in detail, but we may make one or two observations of a general character. In the first place, if it was our article which was " sent to all members of the Committee " it was not sent by us. Next, we repudiate in the strongest possible way the ridiculous suggestion that we were accusing Sir Alexander King or any one at the Post Office of corruption in our leader " Trustees for the Nation." Not only did we specifically assert our belief in Sir Alexander King's freedom from corruption, but the whole tone of the article showed the bona fides of our disclaimer. We are certain that this must be the effect of the article on the mind of any reasonable person.
