SPLIT

IN ITS HISTORY

FROM" H. KING WOOD

Sydney, Mar. 30.

MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1955.

There were two things at least which must have warmed the cockles of the heart of Prime Minister R. G. Menzies on his return from London and Washington talks at the weekend."

First was the shattered unity in the ranks of the Australian Labour Party; the second the engagement of his only daughter, Heather.

Perhaps never before in its long history has the Labour Party been so torn apart and on such a widespread front. Previously the Party, with its iron discipline, has either been able to keep its troubles simmering below the surface or confine revolts to narrow fronte. Even the bitter long fight of the 30's was, generally speaking, kept to NSW.
