MR SILVERSTONE EXPLAINS.
Sir, —I was not asked by Cr Wright to sit down because I spoke a comparatively long time at the conference on power on Monday. Other speakers before me spoke longer than 1 did. I replied strongly to an attack made by Mr H. L. Longbottom against housewives. All the speakers before me spoke in the same tune, which seemed to appeal to the chairman, and since he likes free speech and objects to disharmony he asked me to sit down. I did as 1 was told, because 1 always obey the chair.—l am, etc., June 23. Mark Silverstone.
[Our report stated: “ Mr Silverstone spoke for a _ comparatively long time, and the chairman (Or Wright) asked him to sit down.” It did not say that Cr Wright asked Mr Silverstone to sit down because he had spoken for a comparatively long time.]
