QUEEN'S STATUE
QUESTION OF REMOVAL. REPLY TO CRITICISM. [By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] Received January 7, 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 6. Replying to the protests against the removal of Queen Victoria's statue from the House of Lords, Lord Curzon of Kedleston reminds Lord Beauchamp that the Peers themselves agreed to tho removal and Their Majesties also gave their consent. "It is at this stage," says Lord Curzon, "that Lord Beauchamp seeks to appeal over tho her.d of the Peers to the. rftiblic. Tho vote of the Peers was accepted by him a:id everybody concerned as the final tribunal."
Lord Curzon explains that the late Queen's statue is merely being transferred to another site, and he adds: "To talk of its removal from one part of the building to another a few yards distant as an act of vandalism seems tome to abuse tho language."—Times.
