Last Friday, The Times published the Dalmo Report, and it was subsequently tabled in both Houses of Parliament. The Earl of Dalmo seemed extremely surprised and discontented with this on the seat, but such a reaction appeared both ridiculous and unnecessary. He had already printed two thousand copies of the report and distributed them to visitors on both sides, the Foreign Secretary, and all those interested in Canada. Therefore, it came as no surprise that the document eventually circulated to The Times.
In fact, he even sent a copy of the report to Isop, the owner of the Chronicle Morning Paper, along with a request not to publish it. Isop told me he really wished he hadn't received the report copy because he could have obtained one elsewhere. And had he not received a copy with a publication ban from the Earl of Dalmo, he could have freely published the report ahead of The Times.
