STOPPED THE WAR
BRITAIN AND TURKEY.
FEDERAL PREMIER S CLAIM.
WHY HE AIDED LLOYD GEORGE.
(Per Press Association, Copyright). (Received This Day 11.5 a.m.) MELBOURNE. This Day. In the House of Representatives, Mr Bruce, Federal Premier, outlined the agenda paper for the Imperial Conference. He explained the Ministry’s attitude toward the various questions especially emphasising the necessity for: giving the dominions a voice in foreign! affairs. Apropos of the latter, Mr. Bruce mentioned that the action of Mr Lloyd George in bringing the Empire to the brink of war with Turkey was; most unfortunate. He was taunted by Opposition members being a member of Mr Hughes s Ministry, which supported Mr Lloyd George’s action. Mr Bruce replied that he made no apology, for after Great Britain had decided to take action there was no alternative but to assist. By its prompt action the Commonwealth probably prevented war.
