us transaction should be judged by the Premier's ‘standard.’ We are strongly impressed with the belief that neither pri- vate nor public ‘ morality’ lies at the bot- tom of it; that it has been conducted upon principles which no honest man oan ap- prove, and is the consequence of practices which will not bear the light of day. Let us have the thing probed to the bottom Nothing short of the most searching enquiry willnot satisfy the public.
