Professor David Starr Jerdan, Chancellor of the Leland Stanford University of America, who has lectured in various countries on the utter futility of warfare, has arrived here. Interviewed^ he said : "You have not the slightest need for an Australian navy, nor, for that matter, an army, except for some moral purpose. For a very small sum I will undertake to ensure Australia against Japanese invasion. Australia has no more reason to fear anything from Japan than she has from Denmark."
