LATE EARL OF OXFORD
(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received this day at 10.15 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 15. Mr Henderson says: “ To know Lord Oxford was to have a profound admiration for the sterling qualities of an English gentlmeri, loyal to his colleagues and considerate to his opponents. Public life is certainly the poorer by bis passing.” Mr Thomas states: ‘‘The nation has lost a great servant in Parliament, to which he added dignity and lustre. He was a sincere, lovable friend in good times and bad times. He was always incapable of a mean thing and always subordinating personal interest to public good.” Mr Godfrey Collins (chief Liberal whip) says: ‘‘Fie never maligned a foe or deserted a friend.” Lord Derby: ‘‘The nation has lost much by the death of this singularly simple, upright, English gentleman.”
