MR STANLEY BRUCE
NEW OFFICE ACCEPTED A FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT. CANBERRA, October 13. Mr J. A. Lyons, in formally announcing Mr Bruce’s acceptance of the High Commissionership, said that Mr Bruce was at all times free to make his own choice in the matter of appointments. Mr Bruce had intimated that he was prepared, to serve Australia in any capacity. He had even concurred that there was much more important work to do in London than in the Commonwealth. The Ministry was fully seized with his distinguished services, both to Australia and the Empire, and the Ministry was anxious that he should continue the work he had been doing in London, on which the conversations had been most frank and most friendly, but it was thought undesirable to continue the office of Resident Minister indefinitely.
