Government Survives Military Pay Crisis Increases Granted Militia Trainees
Canberra reports the Menzies Government averts a party crisis by approving pay raises for Army Militia and Second ALB recruits. Privates in the Second ALB rise to 7/ a day and militia trainees to 8/ a day during three months training. The move, backed by the UAP and Country Party, keeps government stable for the current session. The policy shifts include manpower support, costs projected at around 900,000 pounds for 1920-40, with broader army policy changes pending.
