...slightly stupid man with great biceps and an ominous sledgehammer in his hand. Viewing the cartoon, one gets the idea that it would be incautious to tread on the man's big toes, extremely imprudent to slap him in the face.

When the Honors List was published at London, Australians were disappointed. Native Sir Isaac Isaacs got nothing-possibly because of the unconcealed anger of George V, who objected vigorously when the Australian Government refused to accept the Duke of York as Governor General, forced His Majesty to appoint Sir Isaac, a man whom he did not "even know by sight" (TIME...
