Until 1890 the right of cession was always held to be. vested in the Crown and exercised by a formal act of the Bovereign in Council.

In that year Lord Salisbury carried through the cession of Sir Bolton.

Mr. White had a high reputationalty both in the City and abroad as an authority on silver, and his book, "Silver, its History and Romance," has come to be regarded as a stan- dard work on the subject. His other books include "The Currency of the Great War" and "The Reinance of Currency" He was also at one time a frequent con- tributor of letters and articles to "The Times," chiefly on silver, and wrote from time to time for the "Bankers Magazine" and other fournals on the same subject.

Mr. White joined the firm of Samuel Montagu & Co. in 1881, when in his 'teens, and he remain- ed with them until his retirement from business in 1928, except for a brief Interval when, as a young nan, he served in the Egyptian war. For many years he was the head of Messrs. Montagu's bullion department. He was a Fellow of the Institute of Bankers and of the Royal Economic Society. He was a man of commanding presence and abounding vitality, and he retain ed to the last a keen and active interest in the subjects in which he had specialized,

"SUBMERGED ATTACK”

Mr. Radford asked that the fullest possible publicity be given

to the 'true facts as now stated so as to counteract the effects of the mischievous statement made on Tuesday.

Sir Bolton Eyres Monsell: I hope my answer will receive full publicity. I am not afraid of the effects in this country, because I cannot belleve anybody except Mr. Lloyd George is unaware of the true facts of the case.
