MR. BRUCE'S FUTURE
SPECULATION IN LONDON MIGHT ENTER COMMONS ■LONDON, March 24 Tlio impression created by Mr. S. M. Bruce's chairmanship of the League Council has revived rumours that he may enter British politics. Mr. Bruce's only comment on the latest statement, namely, that he would go into the House of Commons at the expiration of his term as High Commissioner for Australia, was: " They have been saying that for 10 years." Mr. Bruce has always been reticent about his future. In any case, he will •probably defer his decision as his High Commissionership lasts until 1938. Those in close touch with Mr. Bruce state that, if he is faced with the alternatives of returning to the hurly-burly of Australian politics or of going to Westminster, he will choose the latter because he could win any Conservative seat hands-down.
It will bo largely a question of which party is in power in either country at the time.
