OTTAWA, June l-(CIPF-Tfne gpakegnmn for a bastion 0f INC- dom in the Pacific, Prime Minis- ter John Gui-tin of Alwttrfiiafis ld_ in an address today the e o - cd beyond the war to wntinued collaboration of the British Com- monwealth. the United States. Russia and China in maintaininl peace.

A slender man in a dark suit. speaking Without notes and some- times with striking gestures, Mr. Curtin stood in the grccn chamber of the Canadian Commons 11nd dc- clared himself the spokesman of the common man in asking that the light of reason rather than the sword be the instrument of govern-

ment.

A labor man. he spoke with sad- ness of vast armies being taken from useful production to fight. other vast nrmics, leaving their gecple at home to bear doblc bur-

ens.

Quietly, precisely. he traced the development of German despot- ism. the movement. of the Japanese “assassin in the darli." both of them cvil forces against whom the war must be carried until they are “forever destroyed."

Canadians had praised Austral- ian fighting men. and this had been done "handsomely" by Prime Min- istcr Mackenzie King and Gordon Gmydon, Progressive Conservative leader, who welcomed him.

There could be no hope for the future of the world unless hlizh contractin parties kept their ob- ligations, e said. Britain had kept her contract when she went to war after the invasion of Poland. He believed that Canada and Australia jointly could pay tribute to the people and government of the United Kingdom. who. iitand- lng alone, withstood the fury and strength of Germany."

Mr. Curtin said Australians had gone into the war because they knew that in fighting for world freedom and in defence of Britain they were in fact fighting for the defence of their own country. Australia had a "close call" when e attacked, he said. "Just a little more hare, n little leu there. and the result might have been different." said Mr.

"Bu; ‘the mllIln wu on s e.’ Welcoming Mr. Curtln, Mr. King said that lat Britain had to en- dure, when she stood alone facing

the might of Japan. kcpt open the gates of freedom in the North Atlantic, so Australia and New Zcalahd kept open these gates in the South Pacific.

Mr. Graydon said the giant con- tribution of the Australian peo- ple f0 the fight for freedom "con- stitutes an illustrious age in the history of this war, as n the last."

Senate speaker Thomas Vien, speaking in French. said in thank- ing Mr. Curtin that Australia had played a part comparable to that of Canada in linklnl the old world n_nd the new. creating friendly re- lations with the American peoples while remaining united to the heart of the nnptre.

Common: o aber J. A. Glen said Australia he made an enormous contribution to victory and sll Cn- nada fervently declared: "Well done, Australial"

Planes Take Off Again As Skies Clear

140M308, J1me 1-(AP)-~Allied medium and light bombers con- tinued the pounding of tactical targets in northern France on a reduced scale today in the wake of a mashing night attack by R. A. F. and B. C. A. l". heavyweights on three key french centres and invasion cont targets.

Offensive patrols were flown in daylight by fighters of the Brit- ish 2nd tactical air force. In one of these a Heinkel III was shot down by long-range fighters off the German island of Borkum in the North Sea. The Air Ministry said the kill was shared by a Ca- nadian and a New Zfiiilflfld D1105 who between them sent the enemy craft into the sea with both en- glnes on fire.

American medium bombers, es- corted by fighters. attacked mili- tary targets in northern France.

Murky weather over the Engiid Channel held the Allied daylight forces on the ground early in the day but when it cleared later the tactical blows were resumed.

In early morning darkness a strong force of about 500 RAJ". and R. C. A. F. heavyweights drop- ped probably more than 2.200 tons of bombs on freight yards in Trap- pes, Tergnier and Saumur, French railway towns vital to the Genn- ans for routing supplies to their coastal armies.

The night raiders spread out cvcr a duo-mile front of interior France to hit the rail centres. rat- ed as three of the biggest being used for supplyin" the German invasion front.
