AUSTRALIA AND WAR
Opposition Leader’s Views Adelaide, July 28. Discussing a decision of the AllAustralian Trades Union Congress against participation'in overseas wars and in favour of a policy of organising the masses against war and supporting the principle of collective security through the League of Nations, Mr. J. Curtin, Leader of (lie Federal Opposition, declared that he was not prepared to embrace that doctrine. “A wise, policy fur Australia,” he said, “is not to become embroiled in tlie perennial disputes of the Old World. To be drawn into war in spite of everything is bad enough, but deliberately to indicate our willingness to bo a participant against certain European groups would be national madness. I will not. be a party to making Australia a pawn on the international chessboard.”
