USE OF LEGATIONS FOR PROPAGANDA
ALLEGATION AT CANBERRA (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) CANBERRA, Feb 17 ‘ Certain foreign legations in Australia are publishing and circulating propaganda of a controversial nature which is likely to cause a certain amount of unnecessary discord in Australia,’’ said Mr H.‘ B. Gullett (Liberal) in the House of Representatives this afternoon. “Is this correct procedure for any foreign legation? Can steps be taken to discourage the practice?” The Minister of External Affairs (Dr. H. V. Evatt) said: “I will investigate. It is possible that the use of legations as centres of propaganda might be embarrassing both to the Governments concerned and to the Australian Government.” Later, outside the House. Mr Gullett said: “There are several offenders, from my point of view, with the Dutch probably the worst.”
