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.
