MISSION COMPLETED
1 DR. EVATT RETURNING
LONDON, June 1. The Australian Minister for External Affairs, Dr. H. V. Evatt, in a farewell message on the eve of his return to Australia, said: "I am now satisfied that the British Government and people keenly appreciate Australia's position and viewpoint. 'Everywhere there is a greater awareness of the necessity for removing the enemy's threat to Australia and New Zealand. "For my part, I have a clear picture of' the immensity of Britain's war effort, and the courage and steadfastness enabling her people to save the •world in the dark days of 1940. "The British Government has agreed to certain of the proposals I placed before it on behalf ofi the Australian Government. Obviously, I canno.t discuss these in detail, but I can say that •they express the determination of Mr. Churchill and the British Government to strengthen our defences and overthrow Japan. "The kinship of all British peoples and the comradeship of all the United Nations will surely give us victory. ■ "This is a world war," declared Dr. Evatt, "and it must be fought as a world wax*. We must never underestimate the Japanese again. We must never rest till we push them back and release our brothers in captivity."
