Mr. FIELDING:

The question occupied some space and would call for poscsibly a good deal of information. At all events in the judgment of the government it should not be dealt with in that form. We are perfectly content to bring the information down if he will move for it. There is nothing remarkable in that.

Mr. MEIGHEN:

The only course the government has to pursue in that case is to have it stand as an order for return.
