Mr. Maxse's letter is written with remarkable ability. We wish
that everyone could read it. We cannot suppose that Lord Murray will refuse to answer the extraordinary series of allegations which it contains, all affecting his honour in public life, and it is stated, we see, that he will speak on the subject in the Lords on Tuesday next. We also note that Lord Ampthill has given notice of a motion for a Lords Committee to investigate Lord Murray's transactions in Marconi shares. This is most desirable. The Commons inquired into the conduct of Members of their House. The Lords should not be behind. Lord Murray should clearly throw no obstacle in the way of the Committee. On the con- trary, he should court, nay, demand, a Committee, and the fullest and freest investigation. It is essential to the preser- vation of his good name.
