MENZIES, IN THE HOUSE OF REPAESENTATIVES ON THE
SEPTEMBE. i, 960
Before I refer to the principal topic of this debate,
I should like to refer to two other natters that have been
glanced at by other honorable mnmbers. The honorable member
for lentworth ( Mr. Bury), in a thoughtful speech last night,
made reference to the Public Service Board and offered some
criticism of the inordinate delay that appears to exist in
presenting the final report of the board to the Parliament. I

regard Legacy as one of the finest things in our r. oderrp history
in Australia. It seems almost fantastic to me to look at the
Notice Paper and to see that it was founded only in 1923 by

THURSDAY 25TH AUGUST. 1960
I was very interested in what I heard of the speech
of the honorable member for Wills ( Mr. Bryant), and I was glad
that he made a properly impassioned -ppe : l for instruction in
the country. If I may say so, Sir, he needs a little instruction
himself on the financial affairs of Australia. He took the
opportunity to say something that I did not expect ever to hear

I rould just like to say three things to you.
First of all, I have already said, and I believe it
is true, you represent one of the freshest elements in the
nation competition. Competitive enterprise: a state of
affairs in which a man's skill and personality will produce
better results than in the case of a man without skill and

BENDIGO BY-ELECTION
Statement by the Prime Minister the Rt. Hon. R. G. Menzies
Once more Mr. Calwell's prophecies have been
falsified. The result in Bendigo is, I think, quite remarkable.

stocks of the Government arc never at their highest because
inevitably many criticisms " ariso, it is, I think, very
encouraging to find that in a seat like Bendigo, with now a
