AUSTRALIA’S DEFENCE SCHEME
LABOUR PARTY’S APPROVAL
CANBERRA, October 7,
The leader of the Federal Labour party (Mr J. Curtin) announced the party’s allegiance to a “defence scheme commensurate with Australia’s ability to maintain it, and adequate for Australia’s needs.” Mr Curtin declared that no other country, not even Britain, could come to the rescue in time if Australia were attacked. Australia’s defence had to be assured by herself. It was the realisation of this fact that dictated the whole consideration of the defence policy by the Australian Labour movement.
