NO SELFISH POLICY
PURSUED BY AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND. DR EVATT DEMANDS BAR TO INVASION. SYDNEY,'' March 29. “An Invasion of Australia or New Zealand would be an unspeakable disgrace to all the United Nations after what the Dominions have dpne in this war,” declared the Australian Minister of External Affairs, Dr. Evatt, today. “The United Nations have duties to Australia and New Zealand, as we have to them.” Dr. Evatt, who has been selected by the Federal Government to put the case for an increased flow of war equipment to this area to Washington and London, was speaking at a luncheon given by the Australian Natives’ Association. “That Australia and New Zealand have never pursued a selfish policy is proved by facts and deeds in almost every theatre of war,” continued Dr. Evatt. “Within the framework of the overriding strategy there is plenty of room to ensure that these countries get the wherewithal to keep the Japanese from their shores.” While there had been a substantial improvement in the defence position in Australia and New Guinea under General MacArthur, he said, this security was relative only. It was fatal to rest on the present and develop a spirit of complacency.
