‘Pay Back’

Mr. Fadden Has Not Forgotten Mr. Wilson

AN adherence to the ancient Islands principle of “Pay Back” was indicated in a statement, during the Australian election campaign, by Mr. Fadden, leader of the Country Party.

In a speech on November 28, in reply to an interjection, Mr. Fadden said that the Fadden Government was defeated in 1941 because two “Independents,”’ Messrs.

A. Wilson and A. W. Coles, supported the Labour Party and put a Socialist Govern ment into office. The Socialists had re warded Mr. Wilson with the Administra torship of Norfolk Island, and Mr, Coles with ohe chairmanship of the Airlines Commission.

Mr. Fadden said that if there was to be a Liberal-Country Party Government, those two men would be dismissed.
