Mr Lyons’s reply was in reference to Senator A. J. McLachlin’s resignation.
Senator A. J. McLachlin’s resignation from the Postmaster-Generalship, which was announced last night and which has caused a sensation, may greatly influence Mr Lyons’s plans for Cabinet reconstruction, a cablegram from Sydney reported yesterday. Mr Lyons has announced that Mr McLachlan’s resignation has been accepted.
