SETTLIEMNT OF POSTAL DISPUrE
Statement by the Prime Minister, Senator Ljohn Gorton
The entire community will welcome the return to
work. It Is a win for common sense, which all concerned should be
able to regard as a gain. It Is certainly a gain for the nation as a
whole. For my part I will see that claims advanced through
the arbitration machinery are processed, as I have promised, with
no deliberate or undue delay.
I express my deep gratitude to those Australians who
have helped to keep the mails collected, sorted and moving, and have
given me support in a course I did not relish but which I felt was
essential In the national Interest.
CANBE RRA,
23rd January, 1968.
