I am constantly reminded by the highest authorities
that I don't know much about anything. But I could certainly
tell you all I knewi about aluminium quite briefly.
I know, for example, that vie call it " aluminium" and
that in the United States and in Canada, they call it
" aluminium". But ith that happy instinct for compromise which

SECOND READING SPEECH BY THE PRIME MINISTER ( MR. MENZIES)
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
STATES GRANTS ( UNIVERSITIES BILL), I960
I. INTRODUCTORY
In April 1958, I had the privilege of presenting to the House
a Bill to give effect to the proposals of the Committee on Australian
Universities, which met in 1957 with Sir Keith Murray as Chairman.
This Bill sought Parliamentary approval for the proposals of the Murray
Committee for the triennium 1958/ 60.
Once again it is my pleasant lot to introduce a Bill on universities,

INSTITUTE, C6REE, on SATURDAY, 19TH NOVEMBER,
Sir, and ladies and gentlemen:
This platform has been placed with the most
diabolical cunning. ( Laughter) The speaker can talk to you,
and not one of you can look him in the eye" And this gives us,
I think, a most unfair advantage.
But, at the same time, I am very grateful to my old
friend, Sir Hen-Manning, for what he said about my wife and
myself, and I don't propose to make you look me in the eye for

Mr. Chairman, Parliamentary colleagues, ladies and gentlemen:
I didn't make a specific reference to Senator
Spooner because he, in these parts of the world, is an abiding
presence. If he gives you as much trouble as he gives me
about this place, then he is active on both fronts.
I don't know why they invite a miserable politician

CANB QI. T1J__ SDAY, 17TH NOVEMBEH, 1960.
Sir, Your Excellencies, Parliamentary colleagues and ladies
and gentlemen: I have many reasons for being very pleased to be
invited to do this task. One of them is that it is one of the
rare occasions on which I can see the Diplomatic Corps sitting
quietly, respectably, respectfully and with no grievances to
ventilate. That makes it a very notable occasion.
But there are other better reasons than that,

Mr. President and ladies and gentlemen,
Before I begin I just want to say in amplification
of what the President said about Mr. Holt, that he's not late
just because he's late; he's late because the planCis
delayed. Otherwise he was looking forward very keenly to
being with us at the beginning of this meeting.
. This meeting is, of course, so I gather, the last

ON NOVa _ o.
Sir, I didn't quite like that last little bit because it
made me sound so dreadfully old. ( Laughter) At a meeting
of this kind I assure you i feel quite boyish.
Like you I greatly enjoyed the very powerful and
eloquent speech made by Senator iMcManus, who has consistently
stood, for as long as I've known him, where he has stood
tonight in his speech. ( Applaue)
One other preliminary observation perhaps you will

NOVEMBE R, 126o
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Wallace Meares and
ladies and gentlemen:
I think I should begin by thanking the Mayor for his
very flattering remarks at the beginning of the meeting.
Everything he said about other people was quite true.
Itll discount what he said about me for cash at 50% ( Laughter)
and still feel quite happy about it. Sir we're very, very
grateful to you indeed for your generosity.
I am delighted to have the chance of supporting
