TWO OBJECTIVES
Washington, Mar. 20.
Mr R. G. Menzies, the Australian Prime Minister, flew from Washington today on his way back to Canberra to report to the Cabinet on a new plan for ending tension in Asia and particu- larly the "little war" in the Formosa Strait,
He was seen off by Mr John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State, and as the two statesmen shook hands at the airport, they were overheard to agree that the Prime Minister's visit had been "of the utmost importance and very valuable."
Mr Menzies will give details of the plan to a special meeting of the Australian Cabinet on March 30.
The new formula was worked oul in a week of conferences between Mr Menzies, President Elsenhower, Mr Dulles and other United States leaders.
Details are secret, but the objectives of the plan are:
