The Chairman's draft : Report, which was subsequently super Burled, in dealing with, the pur- chase of American Marconi sharea says Sir Rufus Issacs acted in perfect good faith and with the- sincere conviction that his per Bonal interests in no wise conflict- ed with his public duty; novor- theless, he would have been well advised if when invited by Mr. Harry Isaacs to acquire these rights he had adhered to his resolution to have nothing to do with it. The Report farther opinos that Sir Rufus Isaacs' purchases were liable to give rise to some such misconception as Sir Rufus himself apprebonded as possible in consequence of dealing direct with Mr. Godfrey Isaacs, (his brother and managing director of the Marconi Company.)

The Report concludes that if Ministers had made a statement of the facts during the debate in Lite House of Commons on Octo bar 11 last, they would have mended matters and averted much misunderstanding and lessened the labours of the Committsa.
