UNRELENTING WAR
ON NAZI BARBARISM MR CASEY’S ANZAC DAY ADDRESS. HONOUR DUE TO OUR DEAD. (Received This Day. 12.40 p.m.) NEW YORK, April 23. The Australian Minister (Mr R. G. Casey), in an Anzac Day address to the Australian Society, said April 25, 1915, marked the real birth of Australia and New Zealand. “Our men’s gallantry and courage gained for Australia a bright and particular place on the chart of the world’s history." he continued. “Anzac Day holds both a military and political, significance. Once again we are faced with a powerful and detestable enemy. We had no illusions regarding a quick and easy victory when Australia entered the war only ninety minutes after Britain. Australians and New Zealanders are proud to stand with Britain to see this thing through together, whatever the cost. To ’Hitler and his hordes, truth and decency arc merely the futile mumblings of weak people. His socalled new order is that which exists in a prison or a cemetery. We look forward to a new order of a very different type. Today we honour the Anzacs, but we don’t honour our dead by dwelling on the mast. We honour them by doing our utmost to ensure that they didn’t die in vain and that we defeat the same barbarians whom we fought and beat in 1918.”
