TREATMENT OF JEWS
“JUSTICE AND GENEROSITY” AUSTRALIAN ATTITUDE SYDNEY. March 21. “It has been widely claimed that the Australian delegation at San Francisco fought for small nations,” said the Minister of External Affairs, Dr. H. V. Evatt, at a reception tendered him by representatives of the Jewish Associations of Australia and New Zealand, “This is only part of the truth. “We fought the conscience of mankind and we obtained support from all quarters of the globe. It is the small and weaker peoples of the world who have to struggle to get justice. The larger andl more powerful nations seldom need much assistance.” He said that if Palestine were brought under United Nations’ trusteeship Australia, which would certainly hold a seat on the Trusteeship Council, would be in a position to assist in ensuring that justice and generosity were shown to the Jews. Whenever anti-Semitism appeared, it would be followed in the Fascist pattern by attacks on democracy, on trade unions and, finally, on the churches.
