END OF AN EPOCH
SIR M. HANKEY'S RESIGNATION TRIBUTES IN BRITISH PRESS (Received June 1, 9.50 a.m.) LONDON,® May 31. Probably no public servant has ever been accorded such tributes as Sir Maurice Hankey, who is resigning from the office of Secretary to Cabinet. The entire Press agrees that it is the end of an epoch. This Australian, long known as the "Keyman of the Empire," receives compliments worthy of the greatest Prime Ministers. There has been nothing more significant of his great achievements in recent years than his powers in assisting successive Prime Ministers to straighten out muddles. Sir Maurice has also resigned the Secretaryship of the Committee of Imperial Defence and as clerk of the Privy Council.
