RAPIDLY ARMING.
PREPAREDNESS IN AUSTRALIA. TO REPEL ANY INVADER. (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Mr R. G. Menzies, addressing 400 Sydney business men, said that Australia was not at war with Japan, and he prayed that human intelligence was such that she never would be; but he hoped nobodjy would imagine- that Australia -could be divided from Britain.
While Britain fought, no Australian would lie down. If Australia for a few months more continued her progress with the production of arms at the same rate as at present, ho did not believe that any power on earth would attempt to invade her.
