DISCOURTEOUS
AUSTRALIA’S PICK FOR GOVERNOR REJECTED COMMENT AT HOME LONDON, Saturday. The “Observer” gives prominence to a message sent from Sydney saying Mr. Scullin’s nomination of Sir Isaac Isaacs for the Governor-Generalship has not been accepted. This has created a most embarrassing situation, because of its infringement of the Royal prerogative, and also it is discourteous. Moreover, as Lord Stonehaven's successor for the first appointment under the new definition of Dominion status and solely as the King's repre sentative, the name of a particularly high personage would have been submitted.
The “Irish Times” says the strength of the Empire does not depend upon the nationality of the Governor-Gen-eral. However, as in the case of the Irish Free State and the Privy Council. Mr. Scullin’s move is a pin-prick which is resented by men of goodwill.
