THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
“We Avsthai.ians.” ‘ We Australians are profoundly convinced that the East and the West cannot meet and live together as one people. We admire the Japanese people; we pay unstinted tribute to their wonderful achievements, to their industry and their patriotism. We desire to trade with them, and to live at peace with them. But their ways are not our ways; their concept of life differs fundamentally from ours; their standard of living, their social life, their religion, their history, their traditions are as far from ours as .the poles are asunder. . . . We believe that our policy is not only best for us, but is best for Japan, for the East and for the world.”—Mr W. M. Hughes former Prime Minister of Australia.
