[Heading] JUDGE OPPOSES ASIATIC MIGRANTS

A denunciation of any scheme to bring Asiatic settlers into Australia was made yesterday by Mr. Justice Brennan, of the Queensland Supreme Court.

Mr. Justice Brennan is holidaying in Sydney.

"Australians will become a nation of slaves if the advocates of Asiatic immigration have their way," said Mr. Justice Brennan.

"It looks as if Australia is going to become a polyglot nation," he said.

"On the one hand, we have advocates for the Chinese settlement; on the other, the Commonwealth Director-General of Health (Dr. Cumpston) plumps for the bringing in of Hindus.

Mr. Justice Brennan said the U.S. broadcaster William Wynter, had suggested in his recent talks here that Australia must import some Asiatics.

"Fancy America, with its negro race riots, trying to chop off our tail," he said.

Mr. Justice Brennan said bombed-out operatives of Bradford woollen mills should be brought to Australia.

[bold] Operatives from one mill, with their families, would mean a population increase of approximately 250,000 people for Australia. [end bold]

"The Commonwealth Government' plan to bring out 17,000 British orphans a year for five years is a feeble effort," Mr. Justice Brennan added.

"Australia can do justice to our colored neighbors by supplying them with necessities according to the terms of the Atlantic Charter.

"Why are our politicians so fearful of applying the white Australia policy?"
