AUSTRALIAN POLITICS
MELBOURNE, June 21 Mr Anstey (Vic.), addressing a public meeting, explained that his resignation of his seat in the House of Representatives was due to the fact that he was muzzled and chained by the Labour caucus like a dog in a kennel. Ho claimed that the Government had failed in its duty of safeguarding the people by keeping down prices. Mr M'Gratih has withdrawn his resignation. Mr Cook, commenting on proceedings in the House, said: “They furnish a painful Australian war chapter. Although spurned, repudiated, and insulted by the Prime Minister and the Attorney-general, we try to do our duty in this crisis. As we have been challenged, we may call attention to matters of vital importance, wherein the Government have failed to realise the opportunities and responsibilities of the situation.’*
