AUSTRALIA’S DEFENCE
VULNERABILITY CAUSING CONCERN ARCHBISHOP DUHIG'S VIEWS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, September 7. (Received September 7, at 11.35 a.m.) Archbishop Duhig, of Brisbane, interviewed, declared that the present population of Australia was able neither to sustain the growing burden of taxation nor defend the country, the vulnerability of which was causing grave concern. The Commonwealth and Japan had certainly shown nothing but friendliness, but no man was justified in leaving his house unprotected because he had friendly neighbours. The paucity of Australia’s population was a matter of weakness, aggravated by an unwise immigration policy, which gave no encouragement to people in Britain and Europe to settle here.
