AUSTRALIAN DEFENCES
SYDNEY PAPER’S COMMENT
“ RECKLESS REPRESENTATION ”
(United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)
SYDNEY, September 21
In an editorial entitled, “ Arms and Alarmists/’ the Sydney Morning Herald refers to the agitation for strengthening the Australian defences. The paper declares: “There is no warrant for a reckless representation of our position as one of peril. The propaganda, quite clearly, is directed against Japan, which was a loyal ally. She is still a treaty partner, and also one of our most important trading customers. Australia must continue to desire peace, especially with those who are powerful enough, and, if provoked, could ruin us.”
The Herald announces that the Minister of Defence next Monday will dissociate the Government i from the “ Alarming, exaggerated, and reckless ” utterances made recently by unauthorised and irresponsible persons.
