[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT!
(Received Jan. 10, 12.20 a.m.) LONDON, Jan.-9,
The newspapers give prominence to Mr Deakin’s resignation as leader of the Liberals in the Federal House.
The ‘•'Chronicle” says the Empire loses a forceful character and one whose prestige is only second,to Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s. The ‘‘Daily News” says Mr Deakin terminates his political life as he began—plain Alfred Deakin. He is one of the very few colonial statesmen holding that titual honors from the Motherland are not a fitting reward for public service in the newer states of the Empire. The ‘‘Morning Post” says Mr Deakin is one of our race’s leaders. The “Times” deeply regrets Mr Deakin’s retirement and says Englishmen regard him as one of the leaders of the whole Imperial movement, whose vision is ranged beyond bis own Dominion.
SYDNEY PRESS COMMENT,
