GENERAL BENNETT
APPOINTMENT TO FIGHTING COMMAND. URGED BY SYDNEY PAPER. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) SYDNEY, March 17. Directing attention to the imminent threat of invasion in the north, the “Sun” in an editorial demands the appointment of Major-General Gordon Bennett to a post where he can deal at first hand with the Japanese wiih the same unquestioned authority he possessed in Malaya. The editorial emphasises General Bennett’s exceptional fitness for the task, “instead of which he is being obliged/ to sit in an armchair preparing official reports for the cumbersome military organisation.”
