DEATH OF SIR J. SALMOND.

PREMIER’S TRIBUTE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Wellington, Sept. 22. Mr. Massey, referring to the late Sir John Salmond, said his death would be sincerely regretted, and he would be keenly missed by New Zealanders. Since he represented the Dominion at the Washington Conference and distinguished himself there his fellow citizens had been appreciative of his work and proved ability. Mr. Massey referred particularly to Sir John’s work in the field of constitutional law, and his various publications which have taken their places as standard works wherever the English language is spoken. He had heard Sir John Salmond spoken of as a great jurist both in England and America, and he had left behind him a record which it would be well for each and everyone of us to emulate. LONDON TIMES’ TRIBUTE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 22, 7.55 p.m. London. Sept. 21. In a tribute to Sir John Sal mend, the Times says the Empire has lost a distinguished jurist, who devoted all his services to the maintenance of an improvement in Imperial relations. His imperialism was essentially that of the Massey school. While exceedingly jealous of the national status of his Dominion, he considered that in peace as well as in war the Empire should speak to the outside world through the common mouthpiece of the British Government.
