SURVIVAL OF GOVERNMENT
POLITK AL INTERESTS IN BACKGROUND. (P.A.) Parliament Bldgs., March 2(). Commenting on criticism of the Government in >he House of Representatives last night, the Minister ol National Service (Mr, Semple) said there was a measure of truth in the claim that lhe Government would not survive after the war. But would that matter, anyway? It ivas the future of the children wh- had their lives to live and those yet unborn that mattered, and not the political lives of members. Pe’rsonal interests had to be put in the background to make way for national interests. The Government might go under, but as far as he was concerned he would rather go under ten thousand times knowing that he had done his job than go on knowing that ho had 10l tho country down by trying to sot his sails to catch every political breeze.
