PACIFIC DEFENCE
ADDRESS BY DR. EVATT IN LONDON' i AT LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE. BRITISH AND AMERICAN CO-OPERATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, May 25. “Australia and New Zealand stand today one hundred per cent with'you in the war,” said Dr. H. V. Evatt (Australian Minister of External Affairs) speaking at the Labour Party annual conference. “Britain in 1940 saved the world, and Australia and New Zealand stayed by you and were lavish with their own forces,” Dr. Evatt continued. “Today the two British democracies of the Pacific are themselves in danger. From my observations I know the people of Britain realise that and desire to help us.” Dr. Evatt declared that adequate aid for Australia and New Zealand would not prejudice plans for offensive action against the enemy in Europe. It was quite incorrect to suppose that the United States was exclusively responsible for the defence of Australia and New Zealand. Britain had also recognised her share of responsibility for the defence of these essential bases.
