REBEL MINORITY

IN UNITED AUSTRALIAN PARTY CHALLENGED BY MR MENZIES. MEETING OF-MEMBERS CALLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, July 20. The Prime Minister, Mr Menzies, has called a meeting of the Parliamentary United Australia Party on July 28 to test the challenge to his leadership by a minority section of the party. The demands by Mr Hutchinson, a U.A.P. Victoria member, that a meeting of the combined Government parties should be held has been ignored by Mr Menzies, who has taken the view that the “rebel element” is confined to the U.A.P. Mr Menzies is expected to fight any attempt at the meeting to depose him either from the leadership of the party or from the Prime Ministership. Mr Hutchinson said Mr Menzies’s failure to call .a meeting of the combined parties was incompatible with his professed dislike of party politics. Mr Menzies knew that a majority of the members he was supposed to lead did not want him. A maximum war effort could be attained only under a leader sharing the confidence of a majority of the members of the Government.
