AUSTRALIA AT HOME
VOLUNTARY DEFENDERS (Received 20th December, 1 p.m.) LONDON, 19 th December. "Nobody ever left Australia without regrets," said Lord Stonehaven, in a speech at a unique all-Australian lunchcon in the House of Commons io-day to Australian members of the House. Sir Newton Moore presided. The guests included General Eyrie and all the Agents-General. Lord Stonehaven, discussing Australia, said: "I have now three nationalities. I am a Scotsman by birth, have lived in England, and live of the happiest years of my life in Australia, and finally I am Australia's unofficial Ambassador in England." The gathering, which was non-party, inforinji lly discussed questions repeatedly placed on the order paper reflecting discredit on Australia, and it was felt that something should be done to protect Australia's interests in such cases. Accordingly Sir Newton Moore and Mr. Boyee henceforth propose to watch, the question paper, and whenever such questions arise be ready to stand tip for Australia.
