OFFICIAL SECRETS

London, June 11. TWO important legal points emerge from the Attomey-gener- al's explanation of his decision to take no legal action upon the Bud- get Tribunal's report.

The first is that the Ondings of this sort of Tribunal will never become the subject of criminal proceedings, because the potential jury may have been prejudiced by reading the

the findings and evidence.

The second point is raised by the Attorney-general's statement that a disclosure of official secrets must be deliberate in order to of fend against the Official Secrets Act, and that if it was not, deliber- ate neither the person making the disclosure nor the person who makes use of it could be able to punishment.

He has thus tremendously limit- ed the scope of the Official Be- crets Act. I, for example, a news- paper publishes an official secret, prosecution, to be successful, will have to prove that the secret was given to the newspaper inten- tionally, not inadvertently.

DOMINIONS ANTI-LEAGUE The movement of public senti- ment in the Dominions hostile to the League of Nations gains stéa- ally in strength. It has intuen

tial spokesmen.

Mr. R. B. Bennett, leader of the Opposition in the Canadian Par- liament, has declared against the League. Mr. R. D. Ellott, leader in Australia of the movement for. closer economic relations with Bri- tain, has denounced the League in vigorous terras.
