COMPULSORY TRAINING
MILITARY AND PHYSICAL LABOUR LEADER'S VIEW DEFENCES OF AUSTRALIA (Eloc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. March 13, 2.20 p.m.) SYDNEY, March 13. Compulsory national service was strongly urged by the Labour Premier of Tasmania, Mr. A. G. Ogilvie, in a broadcast address. He said that his Goverment believed in compulsory military and physical training and in the mobilisation of wealth and industry. "Australia is living in a fool's paradise," he said. "We are inadequately prepared to meet an attack on Australia, although in war we might fund an enemy a few hours away. "It is impossible to minimise the gravity of the situation. We know that war may come. In such a war there would be no warning."
