We have received a letter signed by the Executive Com-
mittee of the Secret Commissions and Bribery Convention League (9 Queen Street Place, E.C.) appealing for support in their campaign on behalf of commercial purity. The value of the League has been conspicuously proved by the Canteene case, in which the prosecution was the direct outcome of its investigation of the communications made to it by the principal witness for the Crown. "Although the League has upwards of four hundred members, comprising many leading commercial firms and public and professional men, it cannot be said to receive adequate support in its efforts to educate public opinion and enforce the observance of the Prevention of Corruption Act." The Committee therefore earnestly urge all those to join the League who agree with the late Lord Russell of Killowen that this business of corrupt bargains is a malignant canker, affecting honesty in all relations of life. We trust that so well founded an appeal will not fail in its purpose. The League is doing national work, and it deserves national support.
