– It is with regret that I inform the Senate of the death in Adelaide on the 28th February last of ex-Senator Oliver Uppill. He was elected to the Senate . as a representative of the State of South Australia at the general elections in 3934, and again at the general elections in 1940. He was Opposition
Whip in the Senate in 1943 and 1944, and was a member of the Rural Industries Committee from July, 1941, to July, 1943. He resigned his seat as a senator on the 16th September, 1944, on account of ill health. I mover-
That the Senate expresses its deep regret at the death of former Senator Oliver Uppill, places on record its appreciation of his meritorious public service, and tenders its sincere sympathy to his widow and the members of his family in their bereavement.
– I second the motion. In Adelaide I received a telegram from you, Mr. President, expressing sympathy with the relatives of the late ex-senator and asking that the Senate should be represented at his funeral. Your message was conveyed to the family of the deceased and was much appreciated. Senator James McLachlan and I were in Adelaide at the time, and we paid our last respects to our late colleague. One cannot help feeling sad at the passing of one who was a colleague and a loyal friend for many years. The deceased exsenator had made himself popular among all sections of the Senate, and all members of the Parliament.- The name of exSenator Uppill was held in high esteem in South Australia, and I very much regret his passing. One is reminded of the lines -
His life was gentle; and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, “This was a man”!
Senator COOPER. (Queensland).Members of the Australian Country party in ‘ the Senate desire to he associated with the motion and express their deep regret at the death of . their late colleague. Ex-Senator Uppill was truly one of nature’s gentlemen. He was kind and considerate and always thoughtful for the welfare of other people. He took a keen interest in rural matters and was a recognized authority on wheat and wheat production. He was of considerable assistance to the Rural Industries Committee,’ of which he was a member, because of his extensive knowledge of primary production. We deeply regret his passing and tender our deepest sympathy to his widow and family in their bereavement.
– I, too, join in expressing sympathy with the members of the family of the late ex-Senator Uppill, whose death I deeply deplore. “When I first came to this chamber I found the late ex-Senator Uppill most courteous, kind and generous, and in his passing the Senate has suffered the loss of a very gentlemanly representative of South Australia. I regret that he was not able, owing to ill-health, to finish his term as a senator. His loss will be felt greatly in South Australia as well as in the wider Commonwealth sphere.
-South Australia). - Since its inception the Senate has had among its members many men of outstanding ability and great powers of oratory, who have been remembered chiefly for those qualities. Not only in this chamber, but in the many other spheres in which my late colleague ex-Senator Uppill served, he was always regarded as one of nature’s gentlemen. No ‘ incentive of personal ambition brought him to this chamber; he entered it because of a sincere desire to be of service to the State which he represented. Nature did not equip him as a “wordspinner”, but it gave to him a keen analytical mind, a firm determination, and the courage to stand to his opinions, whether or not they were popular. As a member of the Senate he gave of his best; South Australia has lost a splendid citizen. I join with other honorable senators in expressing sympathy with his family in their great loss.
Question resolved in the affirmative, honorable senators standing in their places.

– I regret to announce to the Senate the death in Sydney on the 22nd November last of former Senator James Patrick Digger Dunn. The deceased gentleman was elected to the Senate for the State of New South Wales at the general elections in 1928. He was Government Whip in- the Senate from August, 1929, to March, 1931, and leader in the Senate of the Australian Labour party, New South Wales, from. March, 1931, to June, 1935. He ceased to be a member pf the Senate at the end of June, 1935. He served with the Australian Naval and Military Forces in New Guinea, in 1914-15. He served also in the Royal Australian Naval Bridging Train in 1915-16, later transferring to Field Artillery Reinforcements. He was wounded in action on ‘8th August, 191S. I move -
That the Senate expresses its deep regret nl the death of former Senator James Patrick Digger Dunn, places on record its appreciation of his meritorious public service, and tenders its sincere sympathy to the ‘members of his family in their bereavement.
– On behalf of the Opposition I second the motion. T did not have that pleasure of being associated with the late ex-senator, hut [ am sure that all. of us appreciate iiic service, he rendered to his country in the Senate and on the field of battle.
Senator COOPER (Queensland)”.- -The members of the Australian Country party in the Senate associate themselves with the motion. I well remember the late ex-senator when he was a member of this chamber. He was a forceful speaker and a keen debater who always presented his case to the best of his ability. He had a very good military record, having served his country during the war of 1 91 4-1S. I and my colleagues tender -our sincere sympathy to his family in .their -bereavement.
– .[ associate myself with the remarks which have been made concerning the late ex-senator. I had known him for many years, and I believe that every one who knew him will admit that he was ii very fine character indeed. He had strength of character, and possessed a great sense of humour. He had been left with three motherless children, and he battled for them in a way that inspired every one who came in contact with him or with any of the members of his family. The late ex-senator also lived in a way that provided a lesson to us all. J have not known a man who has lead a cleaner life than ex-Senator Dunn. I deeply regret his passing. One would have been prepared to take a lease of his life, and his sudden death is another illustration of the fact that in the midst of life we are in death. I support the motion of condolence and sympathy with his family.
Question resolved in the affirmative, honorable senators standing in their places.

– I regret to announce to the Senate the death in Adelaide on the 12th February last of a former member of the House of Representatives, the Honorable Sir David John Gordon. The late Sir David Gordon was elected to the House of Representatives for the Division of Boothby in November, 1911, whichhe represented till 1913. He was a member of the Royal Commission on the Fruit Industry which conducted its inquiries from 1912 to 1914.In 1913 he was elected to the Legislative Council of South Australia for the Midland District and occupied a seatin that chamber for many years. He was Minister of Educa-. tion and Repatriation in that State in 1917. A knighthood was conferred on him in 1925. I move -
That the Senate expresses its deep regret at the death of the Honorable Sir David John Gordon, a former member of the House of Representatives and member of the Legislative Council of South Australia, places on record its appreciation of his meritorious public service, and tenders its sincere sympathy to the members of his family in their bereavement.
– On behalf of the Opposition, I second the motion. The late Sir David Gordon rendered distinguished service to this country in the Commonwealth Parliament and the Parliament of South Australia, and in many other spheres. He lived to a ripe old age, and remained very active up to the time of his death. I am sure that every one who had the privilege of knowing this distinguished Australian will mourn his passing.
– Members of the Australian Country party in this chamber wish to be asso ciated with the motion now before the Senate. The late Sir David Gordon devoted much of his life to public work, and the passing of men of his type is a great loss to the community. We,too, offer to his family and relations our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
– I had the pleasure of a long acquaintance with the Honorable Sir David Gordon. For many years he was a prominent figure in public life in South Australia, first as a. journalist, and then as a member of Parliament. As a journalist he travelled extensively throughout South Australia, and wrote one or two interesting books on the interior of that State, and also on the river Murray. Subsequently he became a member of the House of Representatives for the South Australian Division of Boothby, and later in the Parliament of South Australia he held office of Minister of Education. For a number of years he was President of the Legislative Council. As the Leader of the Opposition (Senator McLeay) has said, Sir David Gordon lived to a ripe old age and passed away, loved by all.
Question resolved in the affirmative, honorable senators standing in their places.

– . by leave - I desire to inform honorable senators that during the absence abroad of the Minister for Trade and Customs (Senator Keane), the Minister for Postwar Reconstruction (Mr. Dedman) will act in Senator Keane’s stead. Senator Collings, Vice-President of the Executive Council, will, during this period, represent the Acting Minister for Trade and Customs in the Senate.
The Minister for the Army (Mr. Forde) will act in the place of the Minister for Defence (Mr. Beasley), who has taken up duties in London as Australian Resident Minister.
page 171
– by leave - From time to time representations have been made to the Prime Minister by senators and members of the House of Representatives that they should be granted some alleviation of the disabilities under which they carry out their public duties. Not only must they incur substantial expenditure within their electorates in attending to the wants of their electors but in addition to maintaining their own homes within their respective States, they must also meet the cost of travelling to and from Canberra and of living expenses at Canberra while in attendance during parliamentary sessions. The Prime Minister (Mr. Chifley) has given careful consideration to these representations and has come to the conclusion that some financial relief should be afforded to meet the cost of maintenance of senators and members at Canberra during the sittings of Parliament. A Commonwealth officer in receipt of a salary of £1,000 a year receives a daily allowance of £1 2s. 6d. when required to travel on official duty away from his home. The payment of a similar daily amount to members of Parliament would be a fair recompense of additional expense incurred by them while absent at Canberra from their homes. Senators and members travelling to Canberra from New South Wales and Victoria will therefore he paid £1 2s. 6d. a day for each sitting day on which they attend to their duties in Parliament, with a maximum payment to each of £100 in any financial year. Senators and members travelling to Canberra from the other four States and from the Northern Territory will be paid £1 2s. 6d. a. day for each sitting day on which they attend to their duties in Parliament, and for days at week-ends between sitting days on which they remain in Canberra during parliamentary sittings, the maximum to each to be £125 in any financial year. Payments will commence from the 6th March and provision will be made in the Appropriation Bill to cover the expenditure.

– Will the Acting Leader of the Senate (Senator Ashley) state whether it is a fact, as reported, that a section of the press was prevented from sending a representative to Rabaul, at its own expense, to report on conditions on the Japanese destroyer Yoizuki, concerning which there has been a great deal of public indignation, and will the Minister state whether any other press representative was allowed to go ?
– I understand that permission was refused to a section of the press to travel to Rabaul to report on the conditions on Yoizuki, but I do not know of any other section of the press having been permitted to senda representative.
page 172
– I understand that the Commonwealth Government pays a subsidy to the governments of the States for the conveyance of honorable members on the State railways. I draw the attention of the Minister representing the Minister for Transport to the fact that at present it is impossible for a member of this Parliament to travel from Melbourne to Adelaide without giving seven days’ notice, unless he is prepared to sit up in a second-class carriage for the whole journey. If he desires a sleeper” he is not allowed to have one, and he is not even permitted to occupy a seat in a first-class carriage, unless he gives seven days’ notice.
– I am not aware of the position with regard to the matter which the honorable senator has brought to my notice, but I shall have it investigated. I might be excused if I drew attention to the fact that until recently there was a great clamour because of the control exercised in these matters. Now apparently the absence of control appears to constitute a difficulty.
page 172
– In view of the acute shortage of shipping for the carriage of produce from Tasmania to the mainland; particularly potatoes and apples, which are now in abundant supply and are much needed on the mainland, will the Minister for Supply and Shipping make a statement regarding the shipping position? Can he hold out any hope that relief will be afforded in the near future in the carriage of produce from Tasmania?
– The shipping position is somewhat acute, but the disability being suffered by Tasmania is no greater than in any other State. Provision has been made for the removal from Tasmania, between the 15th February and 19th March, of approximately 200,000 bags of potatoes and 800 tons of crated potatoes. Other commodities are urgently required from Tasmania, and the Shipping Council is being pressed to bring them from that State. I refer particularly to timber for housing, and to fruit. I can assure the honorable senator that every attention is being given to the necessity for the lifting of potatoes and other commodities, and Tasmania is receiving a proportionate share of the shipping available, having regard to the claims of the other States.
– The other States have railway communication.
– That is so. I cannot promise any relief for five or six weeks, until our garrisons in the North have been provisioned, and the vessels now engaged in bringing our service personnel back to Australia are available for the shipment of produce.
– In view of the acute shortage of shipping tonnage for the carrying of cargo, is the Minister for Supply and Shipping aware that SS. Barwon, a valuable cargo carrier, was tied up in Port Melbourne for five months as the result of a strike? If so, will he say what steps the Government took to settle the strike or to put the ship to some useful purpose?
– The trouble on Barwon was settled some weeks ago.
page 173
– Has the attention of the Minister for Supply and Shipping been drawn to the statement in the press l)j’ Mr. Monks, secretary of the Australasian Council of Trade Unions, that the executive officers of that organization dissociated themselves entirely from the tactics adopted by the Waterside Workers Federation and the Seamen’s Union in the loading of ships for Indonesia? Mr. Monks is reported to have further said that the’re had been more chicanery in this dispute than he had experienced in any other dispute. If Mr. Monks made that statement, does the Minister approve of it? If so, what action does the Government propose to take in order to enforce a resumption of the loading of those vessels with food and medical supplies, which operation has been delayed since September last, causing great con.cern to the people of Australia?
– The hold-up of Dutch ships in the first place was due to Indonesian seamen walking off the vessels. Later, the Dutch authorities brought, Lascars to this country to man the ships, but when they discovered the reasons why the Indonesian seamen, who are members of a seamen’s union recognized by the Dutch Government, had declared the ships “ black the’y, too, declined to work on them. I have not seen the paragraph to -which the honorable senator has directed attention; but I ‘should prefer to have these ships where they are than that the whole of the ships on the waterfront should be tied up. As to the removal . of food and medical supplies from the vessels, action lias been taken by the Government which I hope will, ensure that all necessary supplies of these commodities will be forwarded to the Pacific islands.
– Are we to understand that the Government has no foreign policy except that which is dictated by the Seamen’s Union?
– It is not usual to deal with matters of policy in answer to questions.
page 173
– Before the war Australia obtained its supplies of tinned plate from Great Britain, but after the outbreak of war supplies were obtained from the United States of America. I fear that as the result of strikes in the steel industry in the latter country there is a possibility of tinned plate being in short supply in Australia. Will the Minister investigate the position with a view to ensuring that fruit, vegetables, butter, and other goods, will not be lost through a shortage of tinned plate? I understand that unless prompt action be taken there is danger that this country will be left without supplies of this material, which Great Britain cannot manufacture in any considerable quantity.
– It is true, as stated by the honorable senator, that there is a shortage of tinned plate as the result of industrial trouble in the United States of America, but the Commonwealth Government has been alive to the situation, and has taken steps to secure supplies from both the United States of America and the United Kingdom. There is no danger that the canning industry of Australia will he jeopardized through any lack of supplies so long as the present Government is in office.
