Re "wireless" ribel action,

-

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of

yesterday's date re Mr. Bowley's letter (which you did not

enclose) and the amended apology. I quite agree with the

procedure outlined in your last paragraph.

I feel personally that mould Mr. Bowley puolish his

letter; even if the Editors refuse to join in the withdrawal

we might accept it as regards nim, It would strengthen

our hands against the papers, I take it? I believe that

all along Mr.Bowley has advocated apology and withdrawal, and

has met with flat refusals from Vessre.Hale and Cartwrigıt,

However this can be considered later if they do refuse. The

question of his share of costs would, I suppose, be the

difficulty.

I am, Genti emen,

Yours faithfully,
