Referring to attacks by the Anti-Slavery Society, Sir West Ridgeway said that the company did not desire to continue the controversy, especially as it was understood the society did not intend to continue the attacks.

Mr. Asten Chamberlain did not think the resolu- tion submitted by the Labour Party covered that ques- tion. He himself deprecated such a discussion as con-- trary to public interest.
