COMMANDEER POWER
AUSTRALIAN SERVICES NATIONAL PURPOSES (Reed. Nov. 1, 2.20 p.m.) CANBERRA, Nov. 1. Drastic powers to virtually commandeer the services of Australian factories are taken by the Commonwealth Government in new national security regulations which empower the Minister for Supply to declare any goods or commodities as being essential for national purposes. Once any class of goods has been so declared, the Ministry may call upon any persons owning such goods to deliver them immediately for defence purposes.
