STATEMENT BY FEDERAL PREMIER MR. CHAMBERLAIN’S POLICY SUPPORTED OPPOSITION LEADER DEMANDS DEBATE (Recd This Day, 10.55 a.m.) CANBERRA, April 28. The Prime Minister, the Rt Hon J. A. Lyons, in a statement in the House of Representatives on foreign affairs, said that although there had been an easing in the tension of the international situation, there still was cause for anxiety. Points in Mr Lyons’s statement were that Australia supported Mr Neville Chamberlain in his dispute with Mr Anthony Eden. Australia still adheres firmly to the policy of support of the League of Nations. Australia had impressed on the British Government that it believed the re-opening of talks with Italy was of the utmost importance. The Commonwealth Government adheres to the policy of strict neutrality and non-intervention in the internal disputes of other countries.
The Leader of the Opposition, Mr John Curton (Labour), demanded that Australia’s foreign policy should be debated before the defence programme was discussed. He accussed Mr Lyons of trying to create war hysteria ir. Australia, from which profiteers would reap a harvest.
