FUTURE DEFENCE
PLANS OF AUSTRALIA
Rec. 11.30 a.m. CANBERRA, Dec. 20,
Older men are to, be retired from Australia's post-war Army and Air Force to make way for young men who have distinguished themselves in the Second World War. This was announced by Mr.. Chifley in a review of the progress made by the Government's advisors on • the technical planning of post-war defence.
Mr. Chifley said: "The experience of the last six years has demonstrated that the art of war has undergone great changes. It is -therefore important that in the post-war development of our forces younger men who have distinguished themselves in the methods of the new war should have an effective voice."
Mr. Chifiey added that Australia's post-war Navy, Army, and Air Force will be maintained at a level which would allow quick expansion to a maximum force in wartime.
