Constantly Active
LONDON'. Nov. 24—The lord chief
justice. Baron Reading, and Justice
Horace Avorv and Sir Charles Lush,
heard arguments today on the ques
tion whether Sir Edward Speyer and
Sir Ernest Cassel can retain mem
bership in the privy council. The
case was brought by the Anti-Ger
man league, which obtained a writ
directing Sir Edgar and Sir Ernest
to show cause why 'they should
not relinquish their positions in the
council, because they are of German
birth.
Sir Edgar Speyer in a letter to
Premier Asquith last May resigned
his privy councillorship and request-;
ed his baronetcy revoked, on ac
count of charges of disloyalty made j
aganist him in the press. The pre
mier defended Sir Edgar and said
the king was not prepared to with-;
draw the honors which the monarch r
had bestowed upon him. The Ger
man origin of Sir Edgar and Sir
Ernest, both prominent financiers,
has been the subject of much antag
onistic comment in England.
