"Tell your people not to clamour for absolute safety in air raids. Free-dom-loving citizens who clamour for absolute safety ought to be ashamed of themselves,” said the Minister of Home Security, Mr Herbert Morrison, in an interview. He was asked what type of air'raid attack Australia might expect if the Japanese managed to raid her cities, and also what air raid precautions had proved most effective in England. “I do not want to be dogmatic or to give the impression that I am interfering," Mr Morrison said, “but the Pacific Dominions and the United States are likely to have only ‘tip and run’ raids if the Japanese can raid them from advanced bases on islands they may capture or from aircraft-carriers.”
