Calwell With His Back To The South
SYDNEY, Wed. (11 a.m.)—"Standing with his back to the south, where there are only penguins and whales, Mr Calwell’s eye rolls with fine frenzy over countries to the north, where there are more than 1,000,000,000 coloured people,” says the Sydney Morning Herald in a leader. “Mr Calwell has been a lively administrator of the scheme to build up the white population of this country as a defence measure.
“But he is not only a bringer-in—lre is also a chucker-out. / “To one of these roles’ he brings flexibility and resource; to the other, tyrannical rigidity. “Every time he is jolted by criticism he invents a new set of scoundrels trying to bring down a policy which he alone was ordained by providence and caucus to defend.
"The latest villains are a group of prominent Americans in Tokio, who, according to Mr Calwell, are actively engaged in conspiracy to held Sergeant Gamboa to circumvent the immigration laws of Australia. “The Minister names. Colonel' Alva Carpenter, General MacArthur s legal adviser, as a conspirator. “The scattering of allegations against American citizens is not the way to restore this country’s credit over the Gamboa case."
