At Anxuc Dinner

NEW YORK, April 25.-Dr. Her
bert v. Evatt, Australian attorney
general and Minister for External
Affairs. asserted last night the re-
cent directive issued to Gen. Mac
Arthur had "conclusively determined
the strategy" for the Southwest
Pacific and now "the means by
which he can carry out the agreed
strategy" must be furnished.
In an address prepared for an
"Anzac" dinner COMMUNICATING the
landing of Australian and New Zea-
land troops at Gallipon on April
IS. 1915, World War offensive
which failed, DR.. Evatt asserted:
1.-THE Australian government be-
lieves that the war can be won
only by pooling all the resources
of the United Nations and by using
them to the best advantage. As
part of this belief it has done its
utmost to secure continuous con-
sultation as to the higher direction
of the war
Asserting that one of the reasons
for the failure at Gallipoli was
the strange heresy that only the
western front mattered. and that
every other theater OF war was
a sideshow, and, therefore. involved
wasteful dispersal of forces" DR..
Evatt said the recently created
Pacific War Council in washington
will help greatly in the efforts
which the United Nations are max
ing and must make In the vital
Pacific sphere"
