AUSTRALIA CAUTIOUS
MR BRUCE’S ATTITUDE
Received September 24, 1.20 p.m. LONDON. Sept. 23
The Associated Press special Geneva correspondent says that British circles at Geneva declined to comment on Mr J. A. Lyons’s speech (reported on page 7), which bears such a striking resemblance to Mr S. M. Bruce’s restrained declaration on September 11 as to suggest that Mr Bruce had taken pains to urge on Mr Lyons the ■advisability of remaining a few paces behind Britain, despite the strong character of tlie South African, New Zealand, Irish Free State and (to a lesser degree) Canadian declarations. The Associated Press learns that Mr Bruce considers that, even it a breach conies, the process of international action against the aggressor will onlv be gradual. Therefore, he deprecates any form of commitment until faced with the absolute necessity.
