Speech in the House of Representatives by the Prime
Minister, the Rt. Hon. R. G. Menzies. 24th August, 1961

debates that I have listened to for a long, long time. I have
heard some of it directly, and some of through the medium of the

knew before. Not for the first time, but for about the twelfth

who have had the good fortune to be born in a country, to live in it, to-enjoy
its life, to take our citizenship for granted, can't know very much about what is
