{*.. . . There are no longer lazy and peaceful islands in the Pacific. Today the Pacific peoples have become acquainted with the latest aircraft, with the means of mechanised warfare, and the products of war-time industry."Dr. H. V. Evatt, Australian Minister of External Affairs, in a broadcast.] ! By nbd Islands are not what they were. Fresh Ways of lite and Prospects new ‘lave banished Peace and Laziness; We’re teaching them a Thing or Two he latest Aircraft and their Uses, And all our Industry produces. 5 Ben! Isles are busy learning, now, To go ahead like other Places; By Dozens they already know The Blessedness of being Bases. Grand Strategy can teach them More Than all the Centuries before. T’S futile to expatiate On vanished Idylls, or lament, As if such Things should not occur Without one’s Knowledge and Consent; But, trade and travel as we will, An Island is an Island still: FM anxious as the Next Man to Develop the Pacific Ocean. But Politicians’ Views thereon I study with a mixed Emotion. Why must they so fast, so far? » I like my Islands nsular! -_----4
