MR MENZIES HECKLED
AT MEETING IN PERTH REMARK ABOUT HITLER RESENTED. PERSISTENT INTERJECTORS PUT OUT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) PERTH, This Day. Interjectors carrying placards bearing the inscription ‘’Refuse to Sign the National Register,” and other unruly persons heckled the Federal Premier (Mr R. G. Menzies) at a public meeting last night. The Lord Mayor, Mr Harper, who was chairman, was forced to call in the police to remove the more persistent interjectors. During his speech, Mr Menzies com mented on Herr Hitler's work “in bringing Germany into a comparative state of solvency from bankruptcy." Immediately a woman rose and attacked the Prime Minister for his unAustralian attitude in admiring the work of a man whom any sensible person regarded as a maniac.
