LACK OF DISCIPLINE IN AUSTRALIA
Returned Men Said To Be Shocked
(Rec. 7 p.m.) CANBERRA, June 27. Commonwealth troops returning from the Middle East had been “bitterly shocked” at the lack of discipline in Australia, which had caused them to worry about their future, said Senator K. C. Wilson (Opposition)' in the Senate. He submitted a motion urging a plan to ensure that civilian employment was available to service personnel directly they were demobilized. Senator Wilson was in the Middle East with 'the Australian Imperial Force. Men should be kept in the Army and trained for their jobs even if it took two or three years, he declared. The motion was welcomed by the Minister of Customs, Senator R. V. Keane on behalf of the Government. He reiterated an assurance from the Prime Minister that the Government had accepted the principle that jobs should be provided for both service personnel and war workers before they were demobilized.
