CHANGED GREATLY
SITUATION OF EASTERN SUPPLY GROUP REDUCTION OF AVAILABLE SURPLUS. STATEMENT BY AUSTRALIAN DELEGATE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) NEW DELHI, March 15. Sir Bertram Stevens, Australian representative on the Eastern Group Supply Council, who is returning to Australia, said Japan’s rapid southward drive had altered the situation of the Eastern Group Supply Council. With four countries represented on the council under enemy occupation, the council had been halved. Communications were most difficult. The threat against Australia and India had expanded the internal needs of both, thus reducing the surplus available to the group as a whole. He added: “Australia will do its utmost to fulfil its obligations, but is hardly able to shoulder responsibilities for external supplies on the former scale.”
