SECOND FRONT
NEED OF ADEQUATE PREPARATION. EMPHASISED BY MR NASH. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, September 23. The New Zealand Minister to Washington, Mr Walter Nash, addressing the C. 1.0. convention of shipbuilding workers, gave a comprehensive picture of New Zealand’s war effort. Mr Nash arived amid a heated debate on a resolution .urging an immediate second front. Questioned subsequently, Mr Nash said that a second front in Europe to relieve Russia at the earliest possible moment was necessary and desirable, but should not be taken without adequate preparation and reasonable hope of success. , “The Allies,” he added, “are already fighting on four vital fronts, none of which can be let down. It would be disastrous if half a million men were driven out of Europe in similar fashion to Dunkirk, which would prolong the war 20 years.” Regarding India, Mr Nash said he favoured immediate granting of dominion status, provided the Indian people guaranteed full support for the war against the Axis and permitted the British and Americans to direct military operations in the India area.
