ADDRESSED CANBERRA 1385, REPEATED SINGAPORE 130.
( ATTENTION MISS NEWPORT, ASSISTANT PRESS SECRETARY TO P. M.)
* FOLLOWING IS TRANSCRIPT OF PRIM E MINISTER'S PRESS CONFERENCE
IN SINGAPORE ON 11 JUNE.
FOR MASTER FILE AND INSTANT SERVICE LIST ONLY.
BEGINS: I DON'T THINK YOU EXPECT ME TO MAKE ANY STATEMENT, BECAUSE
THE VISIT HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT IN A CIOMPLETELY OPEN WAY, KNOW,-ING
WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND WHERE I HAVE BEEN. AND THE GENERAL
TOPICS OF CONVERSATION ARE ALSO PROBABLY KNOWN TO YOU. r
PERHAPS I COULD SAY THIS THOUGH, AS I HAVE JUST SAID TO YOUR
PRIME MINISTER. THAT MY WIFE AND I AIRE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THE
I1NVITATION WHICH WAS GIVEN US TO VISIT THIS CITY STATE., THAT
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS VISIT WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF A NUMBER
OF RECIPROCAL VISITS FROM, I HOPE, MYSELF AS PRIME MINISTER OF
AUSTRALIA AND MR LEE AS PRIME MINISTER OF SINGAPORE., AND THATL
IN4 THE MEANTIME THE BA. SIS HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR COMMUNICATION
ON A PERSONAL LEVEL WHICH I THINK CAN DO NOTHING BUT GOOD TO
BOTH OUR NATIONS.
I HAVE ENJOYED THE VISIT., I HAVE FOUND IT VALUABLE, AND I
HOPE, AND BELIEVE, THAT THE RESULTS WHICH THE FUTURE MIGHT BRING
WILL SHOW THAT, IN FACT, IT WAS VALUABLE.
. BUT HAVING SAID THAT, PERHAPS YOU MIGHT WISH TO ASK ME SOME
QUESTIONS, I LEAVE IT OVER TO YOU NOW.
C0.-
Q. PRIME MINISTER, DURING YOUR VISIT HERE AND PARTICULARLY HERE
YOU HAVE EMPHASIZED THE NEED FOR REGIONAL CO-OPERATION,? AND YOU HAVE
ALSO MENIIONED ON OCCASIONS PACTS BETWEEN VARIOUS COUNTRIES OF
THE-REGION.
SOME KIND OF ARRANGEMENT, PACTS BETWEEN VARIOUS COUNTRIES,
ANYWAY A. WAIT A MOMENT.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ME USE THE WORD '' PACTS'' OR AGREEMENTS
O Q. COULD I SAY SOME KIND OF ARRANGEMENT THEN
COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL WHAT
O KIND OF THIN'G YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR THIS REGION.
I THINK VIE BELIEVE THAT IT IS MORE ON THE LINIES OF ECONOMIC
CO-OPERATION.
A. MORE ALONG THE LINES OF ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION IS WHAT YOU SAID.
WHAT ONE WOULD HOPE TO SEE ACHIEVED IS AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE
ECONOMIC LIVING STANDARDS OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE REGION.,, AND
THE VARIOUS NATIONS IN THE REGION INCLUDING OURSELVES, HELPING
EACH OTH~ tR FOR THIS GEN'ERAL ADVANCEMENT.
THIS IS NOT A BI-LATERAL THING, IT IS A MULTI-LATERAL THING
OF THE NATIONS IN THE AREA: IT DEPENDS NOT ON AID ALONE FROM ONE
COUNTRY TO ANOTHER BUT ON MULTI-LATERAL AID AND, INDEED, ON FREEING
THE CHANNELS OF TRADE AS FAR AS THE INTERESTS OF A PARTICULAR
COUNTRY MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
THIS, TOGETHER WITH A BANISHMENT OF FEAR, A BANISHMENT OF ANY
DANGER OF AGGRESSION FROM INSIDE THE AREA IS THE SORT OF THING
ONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ACHIEVED.
THE DIRECT METHODS BY WHICH THAT HAPPENS ARE OF COURSE ABLE
TO BE THE SUBJECT OF DEBATE, BUT THE END RESULT IS THE ONE WHICH
I HAVE ATTEMPTED 1* O PUT TO YOU IN THOSE FEW WORDS.
Q. MR PRIME MINISTERS PURELY ON THE BASIS OF THE REPORTS RECEIVED
FROM KUALA LUMPUR, DID THE RATHER RIGID ATTITUDE OF THE BRITISH
TOWARD THE DEFENCE. SITUATION SURPRISE YOU
A. WELL, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE TRANSCRIPTS OF WHATEVER WAS SAID
BY THE BRITISH SPOKESMEN THERE BEFORE I MAKE ANY REAL COMMENTS
ABOUT THAT.
BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT. OF VARIATIONS OVER THE YEARS ON
BRITISH PROGRAMMES AND BRITISH INVOLVEMENT IN THIS REGION, SO
I'D LIKEI TO SEE THE TRANSCRIPT TO SEE WHETHER THERE IS OR IS NOT
ANY FURTHER VARIATION.
AND I DON'T THINK I'D COMM~ ENJT ON IT UNTIL I'D SEEN THE
TRANSCR IPT.
Q. SI'R) YOU HAD DISCUSSIONS ON TRADE WERE THERE ANY SPECIFIC
I,
COMMODITIES MENTIONED
A. NO, THERE WEREN'T.
I WAS TALKING OF A GENERAL AREA,
BUT ,' IT MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU TO KNOW THAT WE DID IN THE
COURSE OF OUR DISCUSSIONS CONSIDER THE DESIRABILITY OF A TAXATION
AGREEMENT BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND SINGAPORE.
AND WE HAVE AGREED AND ARRANGED THAT DISCUSSION4S AT THE
SOFFICIAL LEVEL ON THE NEGOTIATION OF RECIPROCAL TAXATION SHOULD
IMMEDIATELY TAKE PLACE.
Q. ALONG THE LINES OF THE JAPAN/ AUSTRALIA
A. OF THE JAPANESE/ AUSTRALIA ( AGREEMENT).
Q. MR GORTON, DURING YOUR TALKS WITH MR LEE AND OTHER LEADERS HERE,
ARE YOU ABLE TO INDICATE JUST WHAT AUSTRALIA'S MILITARY ROLE IN
THIS AREA MIGHT BE AFTER 1971 OR IS IT TOO EARLY TO DO THAT
A. I THINK WE'LL WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FIVE-POWER
TALKS AND ANY SUBSEQUENT TALKS WHICH MAY FLOW FROM THE FIVE-POWER
TALKS. IN OTHER WORDS AS MR LEE HIMSELF SAID LAST NIGHT, IT IS
NOT UNREASONABLE AT THIS STAGE TO KEEP ALL ONE'S OPTIONS OPEN.
Q. SIR, YOU HAVE BEEN IN VIETNAM, WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THE
VIETNAM $ ITUATION
A THIS IS A TERRIBLY BROAD QUESTION, WHAT'S MY VIEW ON THE
VIETNAM SITUATION
1 DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU MEAN MILITARILY OR PRECISELY
WHAT IT IS WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO ANSWER.
Q. I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU WHETHER A MILITARY VICTORY IS POSSIBLE
A. I MYSELF BELIEVE, ALTHOUGH I DON'T POSE TO BE A MILITARY
STRATEGI$ T OR A TECHNICIAN I AM A POLITICIAN WHO RECEIVES
MILITARY ADVICE AND ATTEMPTS TO EVALUATE IT I THINK THAT
THE OUTCOME, FROM A MILITARY POINT OF VIEW, WILL DEPEND ON WILL,
YOU KNOW WILL AND RESOLVE BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT THE
OUTCOME WOULD BE THAT THERE WAS GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH
VIETNAM AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT AND THAT IN
THE CHOOSING OF IT TO BE FREE FROM TERROR OR SUBVERSION, OR
PRESSURE FROM ANY QUARTER.
AND IF THIS IS ACQUIRED FOR THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE PEOPLE, THENTHEY
WILL BE THE ONES WHO WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CHOICE OF
WHICH PARTICULAR GOVERNMENT THEY WANT.
AND IF THEY CAN DO IT WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOUR OR PRESSURE
THEN I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL HAVE GAINED WHAT WE HAVE SET OUT
TO GAIN, AND WHAT YOU IN SINGAPORE HAVE AND WHAT WE IN AUSTRAL IA
HAVE AN D WHAT I THIN4K IS NECESSARY FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE.
Q. WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THE MILITARY, SIR
A. THE ONLY PURPOSE OF MILITARY ACTION IS TO ACHIEVE A POLITICAL
SETTLEMENT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, NOT JUST THE VIETNAM SITUATION.
IN ANY TIME WHEN A CONFLICT TAKES PLACE, THAT CONFLICT TAKES
PLACE BECAUSE A POLITICAL SETTLEMENT HAS NO0T BEEN POSSIBLE, AND
ONE SIDE OR-* THE OTHER DECIDES THEY WILL RESORT TO FORCE INSTEAD
OF CONTINJUING TO TRY AND REACH AN AGREED POLITICAL SETTLE MENT.
NOW WHAT ONE HOPES WOULD TAKE PLACE WOULD BE A POLITICAL
SETTLE ME NT.
IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF THAT POLITICAL SETTLEMENT TOOK
PLACE, AS LONG AS IT TOOK PLACE ALONG THE LINES THAT I HAVE
SUGGESTED, WITHOUT FURTHER MILITARY ACTION.
BUT IF IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THAT KIND OF POLITICAL
SETTLEME NT, THEN I EXPECT THAT MILITARY ACTION WILL'CONTINUE.
Q. MR PRIME MINISTER, AUSTRALIA IS GETTING MORE AND MORE INTERESTED
IANSIA. DO YOU THINK YOUR IMMIGRATION POLICY WILL HAVE TO BE REVISED
TO G I\ JE AS IANS AN EQUAL CHANCE TO COME TO AUSTRAL IA WITH EUROPEANS
A. YOU KNOW, YOU USED A WORD WHICH INTERESTS ME AND RATHER
. BEMUSES ME.
YOU SAID AUSTR~ ALIA IS GETTING MORE AND MORE INTERESTED IN ASIA.
JUST WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ASIA
ASIA IS A CONTINENT AND IN THE AREA THERE ARE A LOT OF
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, A LOT OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, A LOT OF
DIFFERENT APPROACHES, IT IS NOT AN ENTITY IS IT
IT'S NO0 MORE AN ENTITY THAN EUROPE WAS AN ENTITY BEFORE THE
FIRST WORLD WAR.
GERMANS WERE SO DIFFERENT FROM THE FRENCH, AND THE FRENCH
WERE SO DIFFERENT FROM THE ITALIANS, A ND THE RUSSIANS WERE
SO DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE, AND SO ON
WE ARE INTERESTED IN PEOPLE, AND WE HAPPEN TO BE INTERESTED
IN THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSEST TO US.
O. K.
THE NUMBER OF THE NATIONS WHO ARE CLOSEST TO US ARE NATIONS
WHO ARE IN4 THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA KNOWN AS ASIA, BUT IT'S. RATHER
A BLANKET THING WHICH I WANTED TO TIE DOWN A BIT MORE, TO DEFINE
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN YOU HAD DEFINED IT.
WE HAVE All IMMIGRATION POLICY WHICH IS SUBJECT TO CONSTANT
REVILEW, AND INDEED HAS RECENTLY BEEN REV IEWED.
IF-AN ASIAN WISHED TO BE NATURALIZED AS AN AUSTRALIAN) THEY
HAD TO LIVE IN AUSTRALIA FOR 15 Y. EARS, WHEREAS EUROPEANS HAD TO
LIVE THERE FOR
THAT HAS BEEN CHANGED NOW: ASIAN ONLY HAS TO LIVE THERE
FOR 5 YEARS THE SAME AS THE EUROPEAN.
THIS IS ONE ALTERATION WHICH HAS BEEN MADE.
THERE' IS ALSO, OF COURSE, NO BAR SUBJECT TO IT BEING A
GENUINE MARRIAGE, AGAINST ANY ASIAN MARRYING AN AUSTRALIAN AND
AUTOMATICALLY BECOMING AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN I DON'T MEAN
BY THAT THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE JUST FOR THAT
PURPOSE, BUT A GENUINE MARRIAGE LEADS TO THAT RESULT.
QUITE SOME THOUSANDS I DON'T K( NOW HOW MANY FROM THE
IMMIGRATION FIGURES FOR THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES OF ASIA DO BECOME
NATURALIZED IN AUSTRALIA.
I EXF! IECT THAT OVER THE DECADES AHEAD THIS KIND ' OF
LIBERALIZATION IS LIKELY TO BE KEPT UNDER REVIEW.
WE, I TH INK NEED TO BE SURE THAT WE DON'T RUN A R ISK OF
CREATING IN AUSTRALIA A PROBLEM WHICH WE HAVE SEEN CREATED IN
OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD WHERE A VERY LARGE MINORITY
ATTRACIVS, THE DISLIKE OF THE MAJORITY ( DISLIKE ISN'T THE PROPER
WORD.# II THINK YOU KNOW THE WORD I MEAN ANIMOSITY SOMETHING
OF THAT KIND., WE CAN AVOID THAT AND THIS WILL THEREFORE
BE A GRADUAL GROWTH.
BUT IT HAS BEEN, I HAVE LOOKED BACK ON THE RECORD, IT HAS BEEN
A GROWTH THAT HAS BEEN LIBERALISED., THE THING HAS BEEN MADE
EASIER. BUT AGAIN, FROM OUR OWN NATIONAL INTERESTS, WE WOULD NEED
TO TRY AND SEE THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN OTHER PLACES, INCLUDING
WTHE VARIOUS COUNTRIES OF ASIA, WAS AVOIDED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE IN
OUR OWN COUN'TRY.
I DON'T THINK THAT I OUGHT TO GO TOO DEEPLY INTO IT.
YOU WOULD KNOW OF COUNTRIES IN ASIA WHERE THERE ARE
DIFFICULTIES, BECAUSE OF MINORITIES OF A DIFFERENT RACIAL
CHARACTERISTIC THAN THE OTHERS.
WHAT ONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN AN IDEAL WORLD IS A SITUATION
WHERE THIS DIDN'T EXIST.
WHAT WE HAVE IN AUSTRALIA IS A SITUATION WHERE THERE IS NO
SUCH FEELING AT THE MOMENT AT ALL AGAINST ANYBODY.
WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, BUT I THINK THERE WILL NEED
TO BE A GRADUAL GROWTH TO MAKE SURE WE AVOID THE PITFALLS, NOT
ONLY OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, BUT OF ASIAN COUNTRIES THEMSELVES.
Q. SIR YOU HAVE SAID'YOU HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING VIEW ON
VIETNAM. COULD YOU SAY WHETHER YOUR VIEWS ON VIETNAM WERE IDENTICAL
WITH SINGAPORE VIEWS
A. I THINK THEY WERE VERY CLOSE TOGETHER INDEED, BUT I. PREFER
THAT ANY COMMENTS ON THE VIEWS OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF SINGAPORE
SHOULD COME FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF SINGAPORE.
Q. SIR, DID YOUR DEFENCE DISCUSSIONS WITH MR LEE INCLUDE THE
POSSIBILITY OF AN AUSTRALIAN MILITARY PRESENCE HERE AFTER THE
BRITISH MILITARY WITHDRAWAL
A. INCLUDED IN COVERING THESE FI. ELDS, THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE
SUBJECTS WHICH WAS DISCUSSED.
YES.
Q. DISCUSSED IN A PRACTIC. AL MANNER, OR JUST GENERAL TERMS
A. WOULDjYOU MIND ELABORATING ON THAT SO I KNOW PRECISELY
WHAT YOU MEAN
Q. I WAS TRYING TO SUGGEST SIR, THAT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A BIG
TOPIC WHICH WOULD COME UP.
DID ANY GUARANTEE COME FROM AUSTRALIA
A. OH, 1 I SEE.
IT WAS DISCUSSED NO, NO GUARANTEES CAME FROM AUSTRALIA,
BUT CLEARLY VARIOUS CONTINGENCIES WERE DISCUSSED AN4D VARIOUS
PROPOSALS TO MEET THE CONTINGENCIES WERE, YOU KNOW THE SUBJECT
OF THE CONVERSATIONS, BUT NO '' YOU DO THIS... YES ALL RIGHT..
WE'LL DO THAT''.
NOT THAT KIND OF DISCUSSION, BUT MORE FOR SEEKING TO PIERCE
THE VEIL OF THE FUTURE A LITTLE IF THAT'S THE PROPER WORD
AND TRY AND SAY THAT IF THIS HAPPENS THEN THIS MIGHT BE
POSSIBLE, OR IF THAT HAPPENS, THE OTHER MIGHT BE POSSIBLE.
LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, AND THEN WE'LL
HAVE ANOTHER TALK.

Q. PRIM1E MINISTER, JUST ONE QUESTION.
9. IN YOUR TALKS WITH MR LEE, DID YOU OUTLINE THE MAJOR FACTORS
WHICH AUSTRALIA CONSIDERED POSED A THREAT TO REGIONAL SECURITY
AND WAS MR LEE AGREEABLE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT OR WERE THERE
O POINTS OF DIFFERENCE OF EMPHASIS
A. I THINK THAT WE WERE IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
I THINK AS FAR AS OUR OWN COUNTRY OF AUSTRALIA IS CONCERNED
ONE OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE REGION WHICH YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT,
THE ONLY THREAT WHICH I THINK EITHER OF US COULD SEE
COMING TO AUSTRALIA WAS A FAR-OFF THREAT, AND A THREAT WHICH
WOULD ONLY BECOME A REALITY IF SOME POTENTIAL THREAT HAD REACHED
REALITY IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE REGION.
BUT BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE SOME FAR-OFF THREAT WHICH COULD
S REACH REALITY IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE
REGION THEREFORE IT WAS OF INTEREST TO US TO DISCUSS HOW ONE
COULD TRY AND AVOID THAT KIND OF THREAT TO THE OTHER COUNTRIES
IN THE REGION HERE.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS OF DOING THAT ALL OF THEM NOT BY
ANY MEANS MILITARY BUT SOME OF THEM.
I THINK WE BOTH HAD THE SAME KIND OF APPROACH AS TO THE
POSSIBILITY. THESE CAN ONLY BE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AND AS
TO WHAT MIGHT BE DONE IN VARIOUS CONTINGENCIES.
Q. I WAS THINKING, SIR, WHAT PROMPTED THE QUESTION II. T SEEMS
TO ME THAT AUSTRALIAN FOREIGN POLICY IS CONCERNED WITH COMMUNIST
IMPERIALISM WITH CHINESE IMPERIALISM -, KHAUCK'S TERMS,
WHEREAS SINGAPORE SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED A BE A
REPRODUCTION, A FURTHER OUTBREAK OF INDONESIAN IRRIDENTIST POLICIES
WHICH THEY SEEM. SO CONCERNED ABOUT.
WERE THESE FACTORS TALKED ABOUT
A. OH WELL, THESE WERE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS.
Q. MR PF! IME MINISTER, WHEN YOU GO UP TO KUALA LUMP'UR THIS
V AFTERNOON, WILL YOU BE HAVING A BRIEFING FROM MR FAIRHALL
AND MR HASLUCK BEFORE YOU MEET THE TUNKU TOM* ORROW
A. WE'RE GETTING THERE ABOUT 5.15 P. M. AND PEOPLE ACCOMPANYING
ME HAVE BEEN DOING A BIT OF RINGING UP TO SEE WHETHER
MR HAS ILUCK AND MR FAIRHALL HAVE TIME TO COME ALONG TO HAVE A TALK
IN BETWEEN THE CONCLUSION OF WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING, AND GOING TO
THE STATE BANQUET.
IT WILL NOT REALLY BE A BRIEFING, BUT IT WOULD BE A CHANCE
FOR THE THREE OF US TO GET TOGETHER AGAIN.
IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A BRIEFING, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO
HARD AND FAST DECISIONS TAKEN BY AUSTRALIA AT THESE FIVE-P OWER
TALKS AND, THEREFORE, TODAY WHETHER IT'S IN 10 DAYS' TIME,
WON'T BE THOROUGHLY SIGNIFICANT.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'VE HEARD THE RESULTS OF THE
CONVERSATION MR HEWITT HEAD OF MY DEPARTMENT DO
YOU KNOW ANYTHING
( MR HEWITT). THEY'LL BE CALLING IN TON IGHT.
A. O. K. THAT'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.
Q. YOU ARE GOING TO INDONESIA FROM KUALA LUMPUR
A. I'll GOING TO INDONESIA YES.
Q. HAVE YOU ANY PARTICULAR TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED IN INDONESIA
WITH PRESIDENT SUHARTO
A. NO. 1
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MIGHT BRING UP, BUT THE MAJOR PURPOSE
OF THIS VISIT IS FIRST TO ALLOW MYSELF TO GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE
RULERS OF THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES IN THE REGION IN A PERSONAL WAY,
AND ALSO TO SHOW THAT' WE IN AUSTRALIA REALISE WE ARE CONTIGUOUS
TO A PART OF THE REGION AND AFFECTED BY WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
REGION, AND TO SHOW THAT THE DEATH OF THE LATE PRIME MINISTER,
MR HOLT, DID NOT PUT A STOP TO THIS, THAT THIS IS A CONTINUING
INTEREST ON OUR PART.
NOW I HAVE NO DOUBT THERE WOULD BE A NUMBER OF MATTERS OF
ECONOMI C INTEREST WHICH GENERAL SUHARTO MIGHT WISH TO RAISE,
BUT I AM 14OT GOING THERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF GETTING OUT A BRIEF
AND SAYING TO HIM '' WELL,-WE'D LIKE YOU TO DO THAT OR WOULD YOU
LIKE US TO DO THIS'' OR THINGS OF THAT' KIND.
O. K. I
THANK YOU.
