GOVERNOR'S CONSENT
HIS OWN RESPONSIBILITY
NO ACTION BY WHITEHALL
(Received 21st November, noon,)
LONDON, 20th November
The "Sun-Herald" says that there is little doubt that Sir Philip Game's consent to the appointments was given entirely on his own responsibility. It states that Mr. Willis's consultations at Whitehall were confined almost solely to informing the authorities of Mr. Lang's attitude. There is no reason to think that Sir Philip Game sought advice here or that the British Government departed from (he scrupulously impartial policy whereby Governors, as His Majesty's direct representatives, act on their own initiative.
