NO NEUTRALITY
f IF BRITAIN IS AT WAR POSITION OF AUSTRALIA DEFINED. MUST STAND OR FALL TOGETHER. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. SYDNEY, April 27. In the course of his first broadcast to the nation yesterday, the new Federal Prime Minister, Mr Menzies, said that no Australian troops would be compelled to go to a foreign battlefield. “But lot no one imagine that Australia can remain neutral or be treated as a neutral in the event of a war in which Britain is engaged," he said. "The British countries must stand or fall together. .This land must be so armed and prepared as to ensure that a potential enemy would hesitate to attack us. “In all our consultations with Britain and the other Dominions we must act on the basis that the primary risk in the Pacific is borne by New Zealand and ourselves."
