Among the speakers heard were the late Prime Minister, the Right Hon. M. J. Savage; the Controller, Mr. C. G. Scrimgeour; the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones; Commander Burgess, of the Centaurus; Admiral Byrd and Mr, Chaniberlain in bis broadcast announcing the outbreak of hostilities with Germany.
