BOTTOMLEY CASE.
CRITICISM BY ” TRUTH.” By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright Australian N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, May 31. Bottomley received £25,000 compensation frpm the proprietors lor the termination of his editorship of " John Bull.” “ Truth ” states : ” Bottomley’s sentence rids Parliament, public life and journalism of a. disgrace which ought never to have been tolei>ited. This plausible, clever, cunning rogus duped all kinds and conditions of people. The country often has a use for dirty instruments in war time. Bottomley’s services as a professional patriot might have been worth the handsome fees he received for such services, t>ut the Government ought to have had the courage to intervene when they saw him, after the war, raking in hundreds of thousands of pounds by means of the bond clubs, on the palpable false pretence that the investors would enjoy the security of the State.”
