Push-Button War ihkce Aiistralia Prepare Defence
(By Leelle Brodie; Canadian he" Correspondent) SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 4-. (OW-Gradual withdrawal o1 all British forces from bases east of Suez and development of "pligh- button" warfare has thrown an uneasy spotlight on Australian de- fence preparations. Australia now feels that in the Pacific she must carry the burden of Empire defence previously shouldered by Britain. Her entire system of defence has to be reviewed following post-wag upsurge of nationalism and quick- ened political development in In- dia. Indonesia. Burma and even tne Philippines. Dr- H. V. Evett, minister for ex- ternal aifairs.‘ made ' this clear when he said: "Just as far as the peoples of Southeast Asia cease to be dependent upon decisions of European governments. so for do Australia's interests in the coun- cils of Southeast Asia increase."
The federal government new de- sires a much closer association of Australia with these countries, and the island groups between New Zealand and the Asia mainland.
As far back as January 1N0. Australia and New Zealand fore- saw this trend of events in the Pacific and signed the Anzec pact. It was the first political agree- ment of a far reaching consequence cver made between two British do- minlons. It emphasizes that both countries are resolved to establish a regional system of defence and security.
During the next year Iritsln will send some 300 scientific war- fare experts to study and advise on experiments on the range.
Apart from the rocket range and the big expansion o! her illvy, Australia is seeking a spot to build a naval base suitable to replace Singapore. Singapore's security to Australia and the Empire virtually ceased when British troops began pulling out of India. and Burma decided to seek independence.
It is understood that this base will be built around the Inmense graying dock in Sydney harbor. No other base east of the Sues Canal has the Industrial potential to withstand o long drawn out conflict.

The purpose of their visit here is to interest boys from i6 1-2 to II 1-2 in making application to I-LMCS. “Royal Roads". British Col- umbia where they may become officer-candidates for either the Navy or the Air Force. "It is practically handing a boy s career on a silver platter." said lit-Commander Welland. Cadet training at the col- lege offers so many advantages to the boys who qualify, that the en- thusiasm expressed all across the nation has been terrific, he stated. In Prince Edward Island we have had difficulty getting boys with the proper qualifications and consequently not one boy from this Province hasbeen accepted. Enrolment at the College is limited to 50 Air Force and b0 Naval cadets annually, but at least one of this number should be from P. E. I. continued Lt-Cmdr. Welland.
