Lord Cranborne pointed out that the enemv did not know' the facts, and wanted to get them, and that was _ a conclusive reason against discussing the question in public. The country had not been starved of information, and the Government was most anxious that it should be as fully informed as was possible, but there was a point beyond which it could not go because of the risks involved, and that, point was said to come on the question of shipping.
