SPEECH BY THE HRIME MINISTER, THE RT. HON. R. G. MENZIES.
Sir, and ladies and gentlemen:
I speak here under very very great difficulty. I would like to take
you into my confidence on that matter. First, they have these wretched li& ghts,
which, in my experience render only the rarest people like Sir Ronald Grieve
capable of utterance. To me they have nothing but destruction in them. My
second difficulty is that Sir Ronald Grieve, himself, having gone throu. eh the

I live a most peculiar life, quite crasy. I left the office at 20 to 1
today and have to be back home in time for dinner, on peril of expulsion from q own
house everybody will understand that. Wherever I go in Australia if I am driving
through a town that is big, or a town that is little, or a town that is middle sise,

Sir, and ladies and gentlemen:
I have been listening to the Chairman's speech with great interest
and it has left me with a very, very clear impression that he is rather
favourably disposed to the wheat industry. ( Laughter) 1 hope he will correct
me if I have the wrong idea.
But one error he certainly fell into: he seemed to tnink that this
was one of the rare occasions on which I could hear about the wheat industry.

Director-General of Security, one would
imagine that the Government would take
some further action to see that she did not
remain a resident of Australia but if the
Government attempted to send her out of
Australia, obviously it would be obliged to
reveal in the courts at least some of the
grounds on which a certificate of naturalization
has been refused.
I have only a few minutes left so I shall
refer to only one other case which concerns
a Portuguese gentleman also. He has been

SPEECH 3Y THE PRIME MINISTER THE RT. HON.
R. G. MENZIES, AT THE ANNUAL FEDERAL COUNCIL
MEETING OF THE LIBERAL PARTY, AT CANBERRA,
2TH SEPTEMBER, 1961
Mr. President and ladies and gentlemen:
I must begin by agreeing with the President, not for
the first time, that we can look forward, I believe, with no kind
of pessimism, to the electoral events of the future. It is quite
true that we have a very great problem in the Senate a problem
rendered, on the whole, more difficult by some recent unhappy

P. M. No. 49/1961

I have seen reports of an incident in Townsville where a hotel-keeper refused to serve liquor to a visiting Education Officer from Kenya. Quite clearly the laws governing the sale of liquor in Townsville are a matter for the Queensland State authorities and the Commonwealth Government has no jurisdiction in that matter. I have been reliably informed that in fact a hotel-keeper is not obliged, under the Queensland liquor licensing laws, to sell liquor to any individual person if he chooses not to do so.

Sir, and ladies and gentlemen, and boys:

I have had a tempting seriesa of invitations, haven' t I, laid out before me: the Judge has been doing his best to persuade me to tell you the story of my life. This, I think, I would prefer not to do. But if the boys of the school are interested in how a man can begin in a small way as a speechmaker, and end up by doing about six speeches a week I will tall them.

On 7th September I made some observations on the
resumption by the Soviet Union of nuclear bomb testing, and sai
that I might make a further statement this week. I should lie
now to trace in more detail the course of negotiation on thiz.
most important question, and to examine some of its
implications for us.
