HIGH TRIBUTES
SIR M. HANKEY'S WORK KEY MAN OF THE EMPIRE LONDON, May 81. It is announced that Sir Maurice Hankey, who resigned his position as Secretary to the Cabinet to join the Suez Canal directorate, has also resigned from the secretaryship of the Committee of Imperial Defence and from the position of clerk to the Privy Council. Probably no public Bervant was ever accorded such tributes. The entire press agrees that it is the end of an epoch. This South Australian, long known as the P]mpire's key man, receives compliments worthy of the greatest of Prime Ministers.
