THE ZINOVIEFF LETTER
QUESTION IN COMMONS
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright
LONDON, March 1. (Received March 2, at 12.30 p.m.)
Colonel Wedgwood (Lab.) inquired in the House of Commons whether Sir Warren Fisher (Head of the Civil Service) at the hoard of inquiry into the “francs case” took evidence from the newspaper which first published the Zinovieff letter on the question whether the letter was communicated to them by a Civil servant. Mr Baldwin said that as far as he was aware no newspaper published the letter i ahead of the official communique. The i suggestion that the letter was com- ) municated to the newspaper improperly was completely novel. If Colonel Wed|f* wood had any information supporting! such an allegation he should have core* veyed it to Sir Warren Fisher at th® time of the inquiry, lie hoped that.lia would repair the omission and send rt to him (Mr Baldwin) immediately. Colonel Wedgwood: “Suroly the sus« picion stands out from fcfea reports of the inquiry,”—A. and M.A. ‘Sun Cable.
