QUEEN VICTORIA STATUE
PROTESTS AGAINST REMOVAL, REPLY BY LORD CURZON, Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 6. Replying to protests against the removal of tho Queen Victoria statue. Lord Curzon of Kedleston reminds Earl Beauchamp that the House of Peers itself agreed to tho removal, and his Majesty also gave his consent. “It is at this stage,” says Lord Curzon, “that Earl Beauchamp seeks to appeal over tho head of the poors to tho public. Tha vote of the peers was accepted by him and everybody concerned as tho final tribunal.” Lord Curzon explains that tho Queen’s statue is merely being transferred to another site. Ho adds: “To talk of its removal from one part of a building to another a few yards distant as an act of vandalism seems to be an abuse of language.”—Tho Times.
