THE AUSTRALIAN DREAPNOUGHT
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT BUDGE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, April 21. The Federal Postmaster-General (Mr Thomas), referring at Brunswick to the great pressure brought to boar on Mr Fisher to present a Dreadnought to Great Britain, said that the Government had been threatened that if they did not carry out a certain proposal they v.o i!d be ejected from office. Let it be so, he said. The Government were prepared to go retaining the esteem of their followers rather than lose that support and remain on the Treasury benches with the aid of those who had ever opposed the Labor cruise.
