What do you think about the rearmament of Germany? Is that bothering Australians very much?

Spender
Oh, indeed it is. Because, after all, in two world wars we have come into a state of war and we have sent our troops oversees as a result of incidents which took place a long way from our shore in Europe, so whatever takes place in Europe is of consequence to us. We believe in very firmly that you cannot deal with segments of the world except in terms of seeing with the whole problem globally.
