MR S. M. BRUCE
LOSS TO AUSTRALIAN POLITICS. OUTSPOKEN PRESS COMMENT. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Sydney, October 6. The Sydney Morning Herald, in an editorial under the heading “Demand for Mr Bruce,” declares that the appointment of Mr Bruce to the High Commissionership and the loss of his valuable services in Australia in a political sense leaves much unexplained. The Herald stresses his great services first as Prime Minister, later at Ottawa and later still in negotiating the loan conversions. The paper says he has represented the driving force of Australian politics in a manner uneaualled in this generation. No one can doubt but that the House of Commons will claim him if Australia is content to let him go. That ought not to be allowed to happen. The editorial hints that there is more behind the appointment as High Commissioner than the Prime Minister cares to disclose, and adds that there are weightier reasons than financial ones for demanding that the question concerning his disappearance from Australian politics shall not be disposed of in so hasty a fashion.
