(Received This Day. 10.45 a.m.) NEW YORK, May 29.

The Australian Minister, Mr Casey, broadcasting through the N.B.C. to the whole United States said Australians believed the war to be a well-prepared attempt to overturn the world order and make Germany the dominant force throughout the world. Australia was fighting because it stood on the side of international decency against a ruthless wild beast of conquest. Australians' believed that a man kicking to death a small and helpless neighbour was a cur. They believed that international relations must obey the same rules of decency as personal relations. Australia was firmly confident and was with Britain to the end. “If Britain and France go down,” he said, “the light will go out and will not be rekindled in our time. Few parts of the world would be immune from the moral and material consequences of a Germany victory which would mean that dictatorships would mono-' polise international trade and freedom of speech and man’s right to live his own life would disappear from a large part of the earth. He believes a force has arisen threatening the basis of world civilisation. It must be defeated, so that we and you can return to the job of making the world a better place for the average man to live in.” CALL ON PRESIDENT FOLLOWING IMMEDIATE RETURN TO WASHINGTON. MR CASEY CANCELS ADDRESS AT MINNEAPOLIS. (Received This Day, 10 p.m.) WASHINGTON, May 28. Mr Casey has cancelled his scheduled address at Minneapolis and has returned to Washington by air.
