SYDNEY, October 19. (Received October 19, at 10.30 a.m.) The ‘ Herald’s ’ Canberra correspondent says the opinion is growing- that as the most outstanding men available should direct the defence programme the Federal Cabinet should be reconstituted. It is suggested that one or more of the State leaders should transfer to Federal politics, and Mr Stevens is mentioned as one . who would strengthen the Cabinet. _A proposal that is firmly supported is that an “ inner cabinet ” should be formed comprising about five senior Ministers, to deal with defence, finance, international relations, and trade matters.
