DOMINATION IN PACIFIC
AUSTRALIAN MINISTER’S VIEW Sydney, July 20. “After talks with President Roosevelt and other high officers, I am convinced the United States does not want to dominate the Pacific when Japan is defeated,” said the Minister of Supply and Shipping, Mr Beasley, who returned to Australia to-day from a fourmonth tour of Canada and America. There was recognition officially that Australia and New Zealand would play their great part, added Mr Beasley, but this opinion was not shared by many influential Americans outside the Administration. The Minister was convinced Australia could not avoid the use of synthetic rubber on the manufacture of tyi*es. Australia must be well in line for her place in the world’s markets for primary products as well as ensuring maintenance and development of her secondary industries. Therefore she could not allow her motor transport system to become immobilised for want of tyres.
