The “Sydney Morning Herald,” commenting. on Sir Isaac Isaacs’ appointment, says: “We are sure wei tepiesent the widespread feeling m Australia in declaring that we regret profoundly the' innovation and the fracture of an Imperial link of inherent importance, with the extra significance added that it was one of the last visible links remaining.” . Mr T R Bavin (Opposition Leader in New South Wales) comments: “It is a matter for great regret that the time-honoured system of appointment of men from the Home country has been departed from.” Mr. Latham at Canberra, says: It would appear now that the Commonwealth Government, a party Government, has. in effect, chosen the Gov-ernor-General. If the Commonwealth Government actually advises the King in this matter in the same way as itadvises the Governor-General to appoint officers to various positions, then the Governor-General must be regarded as really representative of the Government of the day.”
