MORE DISCUSSION. FORCING OF PUBLICATION. DEFENCE OF “DAILY MAIL.” BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPY R»~ HI Received 10.45 a.m. to-day. LONDON, March 12. Mr. Ramsay' MacDonald resembles a comic policeman warning a prisoner that anything he says will be taken down, altered and used l against him,” says Mr. Marlowe, editor of the “Daily Mail,” replying to Mr. MacDonald’s state,ment re the Zinovieff letter. “The statement does: not answer my letter. .1 join Mr. MacDonald’s warm repudiation of the iniplication that I received confidential documents from Government departments, apart- from the questions whether the Zinovieff letter addressed' to -a Communist, Mr. McManus, was in any way confidential.”- He adds: “If the ‘Daily Mail’ had not forced the publication of the Zinovieff letter, estimating the time in dealing with it and transmitting it to Mr. MacDonald, who was on an election tour, it would have been published the day after the -general election.” —A.P.A. and “Sun.”
