MALAY BITTERLY CONDEMNS WHITE AUSTRALIA POLICY
SINGAPORE. Feb. 4 (Rec. 7.25 pm)
—"The only difference between Australian and Nazi German racialism is that where Hitler tried to wipe out the Jews en masse, Calwell is trying to kick Asians, one by one, out of Australia,” said the president of th Left Wing Malay Nationalist Party, Inche Taha Kalu, today. He said he was applying to the commissioner of police for permission to stage a mass rally against the proposed deportation of Mrs. Annie O'Keefe from Australm.
Meanwhile, the Malay Nationalist Party is drafting an appeal to the United Nations Human Rights Committee to "bring Australia to task on the question of fundamental human rights and individual liberty ”
Taha said the case ol Mrs. O’Keefe had laid bare to the peoples of Asia, if not to the world, vnat lay at the core of the white Australia policy. It had thrown overboard the face-sav-ing Australian contention that the policy, is based on purely economic considerations.
