POST-WAR SERVICES
AUSTRALIAN POLICY MAKING WAY FOR YOUTH CANBERRA, Dec. 21. The 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 advisers on 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 new war methods should have an effective voice.” Mr Chifley added that Australia’s post-war navy, army and air force would be maintained at a level which would allow of a quick expansion to maximum force in war-time.
