PREMIER’S REPLY
IN AGREEMENT WITH WAR COUNCIL NOT ADVOCATING POLICY OF APPEASEMENT. ISSUE CLEARLY DEFINED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.41? a.m.) LONDON, March 5. “I am in entire agreement with the War Council. I am not advocating a policy of appeasement in the Pacific or anything like it. It has been made perfectly dear that we will defend all our interests to the last.” In these words Mr Menzies, Australian Prime Minister. replied to Mr. Beasley’s criticism of Mr. Menzies’s recent speech. “I cannot see the faintest connection between a frank realisation of the facts and a policy of appeasement which Australia has never entertained,” said Mr Menzies. “I have always understood an appeasement policy was one of retreat. Australia would never practice that.” Complaining against the tyranny of words, Mr Menzies said the time was coming when if you look over your garden wall to say goodday to your neighbour you will be accused of appeasing him.
