Menzies Attacks Chambers in Defence Debate in Parliament
In a Federal Parliament debate on defence estimates, Opposition Leader Menzies rebukes the Army Minister for alleged misstatements and asserts Labor’s failures in prewar preparations. He argues Labor opposed compulsory training and the Second Australian Imperial Force, while praising the Empire Air Training Scheme and wartime mobilization under non-Labor governments.
