CAUSE OF RESIGNATION

The recall of David Edward, secre-
tary to the Australian Copmission to

vigorous objection" said Mr.. Deakin.
The commissioner insisted Oughton
was not familiar with conditions or
requirements or with the prior opera
ticns in connection with the Austral.
ian pavilion, and further that Oughton
had not been in the public service
and had not resided dozen years in
the commonwealth Minister Mahon
refused to consider the objection
The commission members are said
to have recommended the temporary
appointment of NJ Harris, a Victorian
public servant, to the place vacated
by Edward This proposal was De.
clined by Minister Mahon.

MAY REVOKE ALL
EXTENSIONS OF
TOUR FOR OAHU
Maj Gen. Carter So Recon-
mends to War Department
on Receipt of 3-Year Order
ATTITUDE TOWARD HAWAII
UNDERG0ES BIG CHANGE
Service Here Preferred to Time
in Philippines, at Canal Zone
or Duty on Mexican Border

Officers of the Hawaiian Depart
ment who are planning to stay on
Oahu an additional year over the pre-
scribed three-year tour, may be due
for a disappointment in the near fu-
ture. for Maj Gen. Carter has recon-
mended to the War Department that
all extensions Of tour be revoked and
that no more be granted.
This action marks distinct change
In the general attitude of the army to-
ward Hawaii Heretofore Oahu was
considered by those on the mainland
as just one degree better than the
Philippines. but mighty good place
to leave as soon as the tour was up.
When It was announced year ago
that the Oahu tour for officers would
be four years there was general
chorus OF protest, but when it was
again reduced to three years, with the
announcement that officers might ap-
ply for an additional stay of. one year,
there were many who made such ap-
plication, and who were delighted
when they received official word from
Washington that their requests had
been favorably acted upon
II now looks as though Oahu was
considered cne OF the choice stations
OF the army and that there will be
competition for duty here. This is be
cause large part Of the. mobile army
is doing duty on the Mexican border,
under the most unfavorable and un,
comfortable conditions, and because
Oahu is Infinitely preferable to the
Philippines and the Canal Zone cl:mat-
ieaIly.
= II Is quite likely that there will be a
scramble for service here when Off
GERS become due for foreign fonrs
and It Is 10 promote q fair and square
deal for all that Gen. Carter has TAX
en- the above noted action.
However. the latest order regarding
the three-year tour here, received a
week ago, states that officers in the
Philippines and Hawaii may make ap
plication for years extension, and ii
is BY no means certain whether Gen.
Carteris recommendation will be
adopted by the War Department, so
there is still hope for the army off
GERS who wish to become kamaainas.
