AUSTRALIAN POLITICS
A NEW PARTY. TWO OF ITS PRINCIPAL PLANKS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) MELBOURNE, February 23. A new Commonwealth political party, the United Ex-Servicemen and Women’s Political Association of Australia will contest seats at the next Federal elections. Two of its principal planks are a national non-party war government and the welding of the A.I.F. and Militia into one army for service anywhere. “In the formation of this new party are symptoms of dissatisfaction which the Federal Parliament will be well advised to heed” comments the Melbourne “Herald” editorially. “Such movements as this unquestioned in their sincerity occur when the community begins to feel that those who represent it have already lost touch with its essential sentiment.” Branches of the new party, which ' has no connection with the Returned Soldiers’ League, will be formed in all States. The Melbourne ‘Herald” urges that the party must not restrict its supporters to ex-servicemen and women, but must be wide enough to include citizens of goodwill. The party chairman is Mr W. H. Anderson, a Melbourne accountant.
