“BOLD STATEMENT”
MR CURTIN’S OPTIMISM. CRITICISED BY OPPOSITION LEADER. (Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY, June 11. Mr Curtin’s declaration that Australia cannot now be invaded was criticised today by the Opposition leader, Mr Fadden. Asking to what degree Mr Curtin’s optimism was supported by General MacArthur, Mr Fadden said it was significant that the South-West Pacific Commander-in-Chief was silent on the subject. “For my part, I think it a bold statement to make,” said Mr Fadden, who pointed out that it came from the Prime Minister at a time when general elections are contemplated. “My advice to Australians is to stick to their arms, their machines and their jobs.”
