AUSTRALIAN MINISTER
TO CONFER WITH MR HULL
DIPLOMATIC FORMALITIES WAIVED. QUESTION OF RELATIONS ■WITH JAPAN. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON. February 25. A protocol has been relaxed to enable Mr R. G. Casey (Australian Minister) to confer with Mr Cordell Hull (Secretary of State) on February 27, the State Department realising that the Minister would be without effective contact with the Government for ten days if he awaited the President’s return to present .his credentials. The “Washington Star” expressed the view that one of the reasons for Mr Casey's appointment is Australia’s interest in making friends where she fears the Japanese may strike southward. It is appreciated that the position could be extremely perilous if anything happened to British sea power. Only the United States Navy would stand between Australia and the covetous Japanese. The newspaper adds that the United States Government welcomes the Australian move as strengthening its own relations with Japan.
