URGED IN AUSTRALIA
EMPLOYMENT OF PATROL OFFICERS.
FAMILIAR WITH TOPOGRAPHY OF NEW GUINEA.
(Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY', September 22.
Since the first essential to victory in the difficult terrain in the Owen Stanley mountains is an intimate knowledge of their topography, a suggestion has been made-here that Papuan patrol officers should command detachments defending the road to Port Moresby. The “Daily Telegraph” says that there are plenty of Australians available with such knowledge and declares that the Army must utilise their services.
The Australian Minister for External Affairs, Dr., Evatt, declared that, whatever happened, Port Moresby would always be Australia’s bastion. Defeat in New Guinea would mean defeat for Great Britain and the United States as well as for Australia. ■.Tin fighting the Japanese in the Pacific we are also fighting for the United Nations,” he said. “In future developments Australia will play an even greater part than before.”
