Nothing that was overtly said directed my testimony, but this person spoke to me for an hour on the telephone, and I couldn't hang up. It was much like watching a train wreck; you don't want to watch it, but you can't tear your eyes away. This person spoke to me for an hour and harangued me on the evils of income trusts—the criminality of which Mr. Rosen is commenting on—what horrible things they were, this being two days before I was to come here. We had never communicated before; I could come to no other conclusion but that it was an attempt to colour my testimony before this committee. If it had been two days after our hearing here, that would have been a totally different story, and I would perhaps have hung up, as I would on a telemarketer.
