DEVELOPMENT
As the election campaign goes on, it becomes more and
more clear that there is a basic difference between Government and
Opposition in their approach to the national problems. I can best
illustrate this by referring to our well-known policy of national
development a policy which we have been pursuing with great
vigour, and in relation to which we have already accepted

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

the defence of South East Asia against Communist aggression.
On this occasion I will briefly say something about

I have been at pains to point out, in various speeches,

manufactured and processed goods so as to strengthen our balance
