with members of the Australian Cabinet on the general question
of conducting space research from Woomera with particular
reference to the use of Blue Streak for the launching of
satellites for communications and other purposes. The talks

By this method, it was thought, the evil results of competitive borrowing
would be eliminated and the national credit backing would improve the
prospects of effective loan raising.
