CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHERWISE, Mr. HEWETI--Baforo you proceed with the regular lusintas of the menting, I would like to ask, is there any particular reason why papers Nox. 3 and 4 should be treated as confidentia)? The PRESIDENT. Nos, 3 and 4 contain the advice of the law officers of the Crown,

Mr. Hoover Notwithstanding that, I think it is a matter of such general interest that the public steald be informed of the slutten and the discussion that miny arise thornon. I don't know whether it is for the President or time Board to say what shall be confidential.
