The White Australia Policy
NO QUOTA SYSTEM FOR ADMISSION OF ASIATICS
Melbourne, Mar. 23.-The Immigration
Minister, Mr Arthur Calwell, today firmly up-
held the Government's White Australia policy, saying there would be "no appeasement, no quota system for the admission of Asiatics." The history of South Africa, the United countries, where States of America and other people of different races lived side by side, "could be repeated here," Mr Calwell stated at Bendigo, Victoria.
So long as the Labour Party remained in power, it would insist on "our sovereign right to determine what people shall make up our population. Today's threat to the White Australia policy must be firmly und fearlessly met," he said. "No matter how violent the criticism, no matter how fierce and unrelenting the attacks upon me personally may be, I am deter- mined that the flag of White Australia will not be lowered."
