Ban on Asiatics’ Entry To Australia To Stop Intermarriage
PERTH, Nov. 30. "I want to save creating a problem for posterity in Australia, said the Minister of Immigration, Mr. A. A. Calwell, when asked at a public meeting why he would not permit the entry of Asiatics into the country. “I believe that intermarriage between white and coloured peoples is one of the worst things that can happen. Children of such marriages are the main sufferers. "It is not a matter of racial hatred, but I do not want to allow the chance of any condition which might bring about such intermarriage or it might eventually occur that a section of people like the Eurasians in India will grow up in Australia, despised by white and coloured alike.’’
