DISCHARGE FROM FORCES
ORDER AND RATE DECIDED CANBERRA, June 13. The order and rate of the discharge of Australian forces after the war were decided to-day by the War Cabinet. The Acting Prime Minister, Mr F. M. Forae, said that the main factor determining discharge would be length of service, but age and marriage would also be taken into account. Points would be allotted to men for their length of service, age, and marriage, and discharge would proceed according to the allotted points. Women members of the services would also be discharged according to a priority system, but here the main considerations would be marriage and dependent children. Members who elected to remain in the services would have their discharges deferred. It might be, necessary to retain some with special training.
