AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE
NEWSPAPER VIEW.. (Received Tuesday, 10.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The “Sydney Morning Herald,” in a leader on the defence policy, says: “That there has been real concern at Canberra is clear enough, and we know that the British authorities have been in constant touch with our own Defence Department. The situation in Europe has developed from day to day along lines that caused increasing alarm; also the position in the Pacific, with American and Japanese navies demonstrating in strength, has caused thoughtful citizens to make demands for information as to the Federal Government’s intention. Broadly, the truth is that nothing we can do will serve to protect us from invasion in the immediate future. Sir George Pearce (Minister of Defence) does not offer the Government plan with that in view, but we must believe that the proposals are the result of earnest thinking and sound wisdom, made complete by full agreement with the Mother Country as to the best course to pursue. ’ ’
