Menzies warns danger of war greatly rising in parliament
In Canberra on March 7 Prime Minister R G Menzies told the House of Representatives that dangers of war had markedly increased. He warned that without atomic reprisals, Communists could gain ground and air superiority and possibly match Hitler's 1940 mastery in Europe. He stressed three years to prepare, with a possibility of two or even one year. He also noted weakness in European defence, unknown communist atomic sources, and the need for unity among Britain, the Commonwealth, and Western Europe to deter aggression.
