WHITE AUSTRALIA.
TO BE DISCUSSED AT GENEVA. A VITAL PRINCIPLE. FILLING THE VACANT SPACES. > (By Cable.—Tress Association.—Copyright.! (Received 1.80 p.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. Senator Millen, addressing a gathering ' of business men, referred to his mission: to the Geneva Conference. He Faid that 1' of the many problems he discussed none was more vital to Australia than the I ' White Australia policy, which was as I important to Australia as the Monroe. '_ Doctrine to America, or the freedom of j the seas to Britain. We were convinced ourselves of the reasonableness and jus- ! tice of that policy, and now had to convince the nations of the world that our J attitude was right and the only logical i one. We must fill Australia with whit* I men, otherwise we would run the great ■ risk of other nations endeavouring tij '_ | fill Australia for us. i Urging the need of immigration, be s ! declared that if i White Australia had to be successfully maintained the populaI tion must be considerably increased by , ' men from our own kith and kin, pari ; ticularly Britishers who fought in the war. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
