HATE CAMPAIGN
ORGANISED BY AUSTRALIAN DEPARTMENT DEPLORED BY DR, BEAN. CLEAN FIGHTING URGED IN GOOD CAUSE. (Special P.A. Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A recent radio “hate the Japanese” campaign, organised by the Department of Information, is deplored by the Commonwealth War Historian, Dr. C. E. W. Bean, who describes the campaign as dragging Australia’s dignity through the mud in the presence of the world. “By all means tell us the truth, straight and simple,” says Dr. Bean, “and leave it to us to hate the things we ought to hate —not slant eyes or yellow skins, which have covered the brains and hearts of some of the greatest and saintliest men ever born, but Fascist crime, such as the devilish wickedness of trying to corrupt Chinese patriotism by opium.” The Allied nations had a cause to fight better than that of the Crusades, said Dr. Bean, and could afford to fight it clean. Radio attempts to raise hate fell ludicrously far from their purpose. .
