MR MENZIES ON STOPPAGES
STRONG CRITICISM CREATION OF DISSENSION CONDEMNED (Rec. 6.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, July 28. In an attack on industrial stoppages the Prime Minister, Mr R. G. Menzies, said that men who create dissension or disorder and men who refuse to take industrial disputes to the tribunals are traitors. Mr Menzies added that the events of the last 24 hours clearly underlined that Australia’s war danger was at least as great as that of any part of the British Empire. Despite the great things that had been done in the war effort in Australia there were still too many who thought their best contribution to winning the war was to create dissension and disorder.. The War Cabinet decided that Commonwealth public servants who are due to retire at 65 years of age will be permitted to continue in their employment for the duration of the war.
