Hughes, Minister for the Navy, should be eliminated from the Ministry in the forthcoming reshuffle for new defence posts, that although Mr Hughes had reached a ripe age "the old tiger still has his teeth, best test of which would be to embark on a public campaign against him. Mr Menzies said there was no possibility of Mr Hughes leaving the Ministry and there would be no change in' his duties.
