Wilson suggested to the e wit Cess that his real reason for advising Iofi cancellation of the contract had been his desire to protect the pro fince against a heavy financial loss. Or. Montague however would not claim the credit thus imputed to him. He persisted in saying that while the contract seemed to him improve sent. He did not consider that in deciding that it should be Des troyed. Counsel pressed him to and that the desire to obviate criticism the government had influenced him.
