the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies on fednesday, 3rd
April, 1963.
Mr. Speaker, the honourable member for Batman
( Mr. Benson) is a very experienced pilot but he will forgive
me when I say that during his speech I was very much struck
by the fact that he was steering a course that gave the
impression that he was shifting about in a five-knot ebb tide
in the rip of Point Lonsdale. He will understand exactly what

BDAUL, TTTV IS IQNjINTERVI EW
Statement in the House of Representatives on Thursday,
28th. March, 1963, by -the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister,
Sir Robert Menzies.
I must say that the speech that we have just
listened to represents such a muddled-up indictment that it is
very hard to know what the point of it is. In one breath, the
honourable member for Eiden Monarc ( Mr. Allan Fraser) waving an
arm at the Postmaster-~ General ( Mr. Davidson) said that he
believed that this interview should never have been made.

Right Hon. Sir Robert Menzies.
IN REPLY TO A QUESTION BY MR. WAPD THE PRIME MINISTER SAID
The honourable member appears not to have kept
himself abreast of statements made both inside this Parliament
and out of it over a long period. It was as long ago as
September, 1960 that the Minister for Defence told the House
that discussions had begun in an informal way with the U. S. A.

FOR PRESS:. LABOR CONFERENCE DECISION
Statement by, te Priame Minister_ bt he RLl, Hon, Sir Robert Menzies
The resolution carried by a very narrow majority
in the Labor Party Conference deserves very close examination.
It is, in fact, made up of the most dangerous ambiguities.
Approval of the American radio-communications
station in the North-West has been secured only by acceptance
of conditions which threaten the establishment of the station
by our friends and allies the United States of lAmerica.

category will depend entirely on the close study that I will
