ELGIN COMMISSION.
SYDNEY OPINION,
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, Sept. 1. Tho Daily Telegraph, commenting on tho Elgiu Commissioners’ report, says that some revolutionary course should bo taken at onee is painfully clear. Probably the safest method would be to allow a firstclass soldier like Lord Kitchener to reform the War Office out- of existence and replace it with a more severely military machine.
Tho Herald, after dealing with the seriousness of the disclosures, says tho only redeeming feature is that tho nation can command tho services of honorable men, imbued with moral courage, to strengthen them against not malting their report public from beginning to end. Indeed, it would be almost within the right of any temporising motive, dictated by politics or party interests found potent enough, to sell the lips of those whom the nation has trusted to tell it the whole truth about our War Office administration and the South African campaign.
