THREAT OF ASIA TO AUSTRALIA
Thousand To Seven (Rec. 11 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 27. Whether a White Australia policy can be continued after the war has been questioned by two New York news-; papers today. “Within a week’s sail of Australia are 500,000,000 Asiatics,” says The New York Daily News. “Within 10 days’ sail there are a 1,000,000,0000 Asiatics, but there are only 7,000,000 White Australians. Differences in pressure like that breed cyclones. If Australia has weathered the crisis it is largely because of American aid. But our Australian friends will continue in great danger while the teeming millions of Asia hang over their slim population.” The New York Times said: “One can only wonder about the 1,000,000,000 congested coloured folk of Asia and nearby White Australia with so few people in it.”
