AVOIDING THIRD WAR
AUSTRALIA’S ATTITUDE DR. EVATT EXPLAINS (N.Z. Press Association-Copyright.) (Rec. 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 23. Australia wanted a just and democratic system of life established throughout the European Continent as well as elsewhere in the world, said Dr. H. V. Evatt, explaining to Reuter’s Paris correspondent his strong views about bringing smaller countries into the peace conference. Lie added: “I am strong, because Australia has been in two world wars and does not want the situation to deteriorate so that a third is inevitable.” He was glad the stage had been reached when Australia was no longer considered by the world merely as a rubber stamp for Whitehall, but Britain’s self-reliant partner with rights of partnership and a force contributing to world peace and democi-acy. Nothing was more welcomed by the British Government than this development. Dr. Evatt paid tribute to America’s contribution to the conference. He said that in the Pacific Australian and American relations, which were never on a surer foundation were vitally important not only to New Zealand and Australia, but also to tile whole British Commonwealth.
