At what profit, we don't know." "Are you suggesting we paid Gundy & Company for advice?" asked Acting * Premier Nixon. "Certainly," replied Mr. Henry. "I never heard of it," said Mr, Nixon, and he was echoed by Mr. Roebuck, who said: "Not a dollar was paid by the Government to any one." Later Mr. Henry said he would "go into it further."
