Late News MR CURTN’S WARNING
(Rec. 2.30 a.m.) MELBOURNE, June 17. The fate of the Soviet Republic is in the balance, the news from Libya is not good and the submarine warfare against Allied shipping has reached a high peak figure. These were the grim warnings the Prime Minister, Mr John Curtin, gave in a brief review of the war position in the course of a national broadcast tonight. Russia, he said, was meeting the full fury of the Nazi onslaught. The defeat of Russia would mean a crushing blow to the Allied cause. It would strengthen Japan’s position against China, Australia and New Zealand.
