"OUR HANDS ARE CLEAN"
NO BLAME TO BRITAIN
SPEECH BY MR. LYONS
(Received September 29, 10.30 a.m.) CANBERRA, This Day.
The Prime Minister, Mr. J. A. Lyons, made a statement on the international situation in the House of Representatives at 11 o'clock last night. A broadcast summary of this , statement over the national network at midnight contained no definite announcement. It was merely a summary of events that have occurred in the last few weeks.
Mr. Lyons concluded with the words, "If war is to come to the world it will not come by reason of anything the British nation has done osr has failed to do. Our hands are clean. We have done our best to keep the peace. We have no selfish interests to serve. Even as the clouds gather about us, we still hope peace may be preserved."
