White Australia
Policy
Vigorously Defended By Mr Calwoll
Canberra, Aug. 24. "Foreign-inspired propaganda recently aimed at the destruc-| tion of our immigration policy towards non-European peoples was unlikely to deceive think- ing Australians."
The Immigration Minister, Mr Arthur Calwell, answering bitter atineks on the White Australia policy fron Malaya, sald;
"Australia's immigration policy is bases on the concept of a nation with a homogeneous population, free from dissensions and complexitles which beset countries with mixe
populations,
The
ideal that this country- which was reliled and developed by Europeans should remain parc- dominantly European, was sponsored by our forefathers and honoured by each successive government, has been supported
by every major political
party, and has the unswerving alle- giance of an overwhelming majority! of the Australian population since Federation,"
