AUSTRALIAN MILITIA

QUESTION OF SERVICE ABROAD. COMPENSATION PROPOSALS. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) SYDNEY, January 9. At Brisbane Mr A. W. Fadden said that the Opposition was still in consultation with the Government over amendment to the Defence Act to enable militia troops to be sent abroad in the defence of Australia. As the law now stood it would be impossible to reinforce Pacific territories, or even New Zealand, except with A.I.F. men. National security regulations have been gazetted to give effect to the Government’s compensation proposals for civilians killed or injured as the result of enemy action. The maximum weekly rates of pension will be 23s 6d for an injured man or woman, or widow of a man killed, 18s for the wife of an injured man, 10s for the first child, and 7s 6d for each other child. The total permissible income, including a pension, for an injured man with a wife and two children is £4 4s a week and for a single man it is 365.
