WHO'S AFRAID?
"How are you going to repatriate?" was the first contribution made this session by Sir James CaTroll to the debates of the House of Representatives. It was directed at Sir James Allen at 3.30 this morning, as the Minister moved the second reading of the Repatriation Machinery' Bill. It remained unanswered. Sir James Allen previously had remarked that members seemed to have a military nightmare about the Bill, but it was a poor compliment to the officers who had left their civil employment to don the khaki. "Members seem to bo afraid of the men who have been to tho front," the Minister h^d remarked. "We are afraid of the men who have not been to the front," said a member.
