FEDERAL DEFENCE AFFAIRS. United Pijess Association. (Received 9.20 a.m.) Melbourne, July 9. A Defence Committee, which is being formed to assist Ministers, will consist of eight Federal members, four Senators, and two representatives of each State. In the House, Mr Fisher announced that he intended to introduce a Bill providing for the taking of a census of all males and the registration of their fitness for military duties. Mr Fisher said: "We also sought to ascertain tbe people's position as regards the war. It is only right that they should be in possession of the full facts in order that a, proper system of organisation should lie carried out. If we are to mobilise, we must go to the length of mobilisation of our finance."
