...cool it, the Prime Minister appointed three privy councilors to a committee of inquiry. He was soon sorry. Two weeks ago, the committee filed its report. Wilson, it said, was wrong. Another man might have apologized and let the matter drop. The Prime Minister did neither. Having failed to indict the Express, he simply switched his attack to Sammy Lohan.
