LATE EARL JELLICOE
AUSTRALIAN TRIBUTES
EX-SERVICEMEN'S CONGRESS
(Received November 22, 9 a.m.)
SYDNEY, November 21.
Speaking at the Federal Congress of the Returned Sailors' and Soldiers' League today, the Governor, Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven, said that if ever there was an Englishman who deservr ed and received the admiration of all sections of the British Empire it was the late Lord Jellicoe. He held the most responsible position of any man in the world at a certain time during the war, and, as Mr. Winston Churchill had said, Earl Jellicoe was the one man who could have lost the war in an afternoon. His one ideal was to serve King, country, and Empire to the best of his ability.
Sir Gilbert Dyett, Federal president of the Returned Sailors' and Soldiers' Imperial League of Australia, also paid a tribute to Earl Jellicoe, and announced that only yesterday the congress received a cablegram from him, as was his annual custom, wishing the congress success, to which an official reply was sent the same evening.
