§ MR. LLOYD GEORGE (Carnarvon)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of 906 State for War whether a cablegram, cabled on 14th February to the News, Cape Town, by the South African Conciliation Committee, to the effect that an influential conference was held on that day supporting a vigorous Liberal policy, and expressing appreciation of the efforts of the Cape Colony and Natal ministers for peace and the conference's sense of the difficulties to Colonists and of the strain especially inflicted on the Dutch by the war, with which they are out of sympathy, has been suppressed by the censors; and under what law or regulation the legally adopted resolutions of a legal meeting have been thus suppressed.
*THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS,) Birmingham, S.No information has reached this office that such a telegram was stopped by any of the censors.
