SIR PHILIP GAME.
TAKING CHARGE AT SCOTLAND YARD. LORD TRENCHARD GOING BACK TO AIR FORCE. (Received Thursday, 7.53 p.m.) LONDON, June 6. Sir Philip Game succeeds Lord Trenchard as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police of London. The newspapers commend Sir Philip Game’s appointment, recalling his war career and his conflict with Mr. J. T. Lang, ex-Premier of New South Wales. “The Times’’ says: “Sir Philip Game brings his own qualifications to the post. As Governor of New South Wales, he showed qualities of tact and firmness which the police and public have come to expect in the chief administrator of Scotland Yard.”
The “Daily Express” says it is understood that Lord Trenchard will return to the Air Force to take control of its expansion and reorganisation.
