WAR DEMANDS
EMPHASISED BV FEDERAL PREMIER INDIVIDUAL SACRIFICES INEVITABLE. NO INTERVENTION IN COAL STRIKE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) SYDNEY. This Day. In a speech at the official luncheon at the Royal Show yesterday, the Prime Minister (Mr R. G. Menzies) warned. Australians that they would have to pull their weight in this war. They must be prepared to tighten their belts and suffer individual loss and inconvenience—and even ruin in some cases. The nation must be . prepared for reduced standard of living and primary producers must cease cavilling about the prices of wool, wheat and other produce. The Prime Minister announced that the Commonwealth Government would not intervene in the coal strike. It would stand by its decision to uphold the authority of the Federal Arbitration Court.
Mr Menzies emphasised that the Government would not tolerate a policy enabling industrial unions to get what they could from the Arbitration Court and to resort to direct action for the balance. He hoped the coal miners would see the error of their action, especially in critical times like the present, and insist on bringing about industrial peace.
