Mr. W. A. Jowilt, K.C. (for the Editor of the "New Statesman") read an affidavit by Mr. Sharp who stated that the article was written by him hurriedly, and being the "last copy" sent through before going to Press there was no time for reconsideration.

"I meant," the affidavit continued, "to express the opinion that the feelings of those who believe in birth control on the one side and thoke who oppose it on the other are so strong that. It is humanly im- possible for anyone adhering to the one side or the other to take an en- tirely unbiased attitude or to ex- press an entirely unbiased opinion in a case in which these issues were involved.

All claims must reach this offes not later than Wednesday follow ing the date on which the matches are played. No prize will be awarded for which a claim has not been made.

At the end, leaning over the Treasury table, and in that tone of. conversational banter which Mr. Thomas commands, he told the Prime Minister: "I have a strong personal regard for you. You myst be getting extremely tired. You can't be feeling happy with this ter- rible state of affairs and incom- petence which surrounds you. In the interests' of yourself and the country, get rid of your burden at once."

A Quick Change.

Such altruiam went straight to Mr. Baldwin's heart. His eye lit up, and he smiled more kindly on Mr. Thomas with every sentence. If the Prime Minister's hext specch does not contain an appreciativo re- joinder I shall be surprised.

In the meantime one of his "In- competents" scored. "You urge ro- signation immediately," sold" the President of the Board of Trade to Mr. Thomas; "yet only a few days ago your colleague, Mr. Henderson, told us such a course would be a gross act of dereliction."
