Momentous Decisions By
Australian Cabinet
Special to the "Telegraph"
MELBOURNE, Aug. 12 (UP)—The Cabinet is reported to have reached momentous decisions with possible far- reaching effects on the whole future trend of the war, ns well as events in the Middle East..
It is indicated that the Labourites approved Mr Menzies' going to London and in whose absence Mr A. W. Fadden will act as Prime Minister, with full powers to make decisions.
Mr Menzica stated that the Cabinet had discussed questions of great moment which will be communicated to the Empire and the Government. He asserted that recent events gave rise to further discussions of Australia's Ministerial representation at London where decisions of Empire policy and strategy are inevitably made.
