MR. ERNEST BROWN,
Immediately Mr. Lloyd George had resumed his wat, Sir Herbert Samuel, who presided, said that, in accordance with the precedent of previous meetings, he would ask The Press to retire.
Some cries of objection to this course were heard, and Mr. Ernest Brown, M.P., raised a point of arder,
"Reference," he said “has been made to the seventeen members. The lender has rightly said they dy not all take the same point of view.
"Surely the meeting ought to be allowed to hear the point of view of the acventean while the Press are still here."
Subsequently it was decided by *a show of hands that the remainder of the meeting should be open to the Press.
Mr, Ernest Brown then said that
he was entitled to speak for at rust nine of the seventeen, and he thought three or four more would share the views that he held.
