Having, as a very young man, spent more than two years at Noumea between 1940 and 1943 as assistant to the Australian government's representative there, I witnessed and on occasion participated in some of the events discussed. I have striven, however, to keep fallible memory in its proper, subordinate, place; the account now given is founded essentially on the extensive documentation now available to researchers in the Australian, British and United States archives and on such trustworthy French sources as I found accessible despite the 50-year rule still applied to French official records. The work has been written in the hospitable and stimulating environment of the Department of Pacific and Southeast Asian History in the Research School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University. I could never express adequately my gratitude for the friendship, help and good counsel so generously given me, first as a Foreign Service officer on sabbatical leave and now a second time following my retirement, by all members of the academic and support staff of the Department. Among so many, I must mention particularly- Dr Deryck Scarr, who first welcomed me to the Department, and Mrs Jennifer Terrell, to whom my special thanks are due for her skilful and patient editing of the manuscript. I am grateful also to Dr Dorothy Shineberg of the Department of History, The Faculties, ANU, who was kind enough to read and comment helpfully on the draft of the first chapter.

The date carved on its base - 19 September 1940 - commemorates the overthrow of the Vichy government's authority in New Caledonia and the territory's adherence to General de Gaulle's Free French movement. This ralliement to the French external resistance movement was precipitated by the action of a majority of the local French population and carried through by one colonial official from the New Hebrides, Henri Sautot, who at de Gaulle's instance placed himself at their head. But it could not have happened had not the wartime Australian government become involved, 'unwillingly at first but with increasing zest', as Paul Hasluck has said, in support of the Gaullist movement. This help was manifested by the presence in Noumea harbour during the critical days of an Australian cruiser, HMAS Adelaide. Her captain, H.A. Showers, after seeing Sautot landed, negotiated the withdrawal to Inda-China of the Vichy sloop Dumont d 'Urv£lle and of officials professing allegiance to P�tain, thus putting an end once for all to the Vichy presence in the Pacific. Finally Showers - in consultation with the Australian government's official representative at Noumea, B.C. Ballard, and the honorary British consul, W .A. Johnston - crowned his conduct of his mission by confronting the local de Gaulle committee and giving them a stiff warning against any action that might upset the peaceful solution agreed between himself and the Vichy commander. This resolution of a problem left in Australia's immediate vicinity by the fall of France marked the beginning of a phase of cooperation between Australia and Free France which set the scene for the part later played by New Caledonia in the first American counter-offensive in the Pacific Ocean war. It was, no doubt, a small affair but, if the complications caused by a 'neutral' Vichy r�gime in the French West Indies are considered, it was not unimportant, and this rare success by a Commonwealth country in dealing with Vichy made a contrast with the Dakar fiasco which was happening almost simultaneously. The bloodless outcome of the operation was the 2 THE CROSS OF LORRAINE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC more astonishing, and the greater credit to the handful of Anglo-Saxons participating in it on the ground, in the light of the scanty knowledge of the French Pacific with which it was undertaken. It is my purpose here to examine the background and consequences of the ralliement. 1 New Caledonia under the Third Republic IN 1941 THE Australian journalist Wilfred Burchett wrote, in the intro­ duction to a lively book on New Caledonia, For many years this island has been but a name to most of us. In Australia it was a name that featured once or twice a year as the goal of a tourist cruise to the South Seas; in America a name that appeared on the schedule of Pan­ American Airways' Trans-Pacific Air Service; in the rest of the world the name New Caledonia - if it suggested anything at all - vaguely recalled the site of a particularly odious convict prison. 1 Doubtless he had in mind mainly the English-speaking world, but in France too this remote Pacific colony was now little known and little regarded. New Caledonia had been annexed in 1853 by Napoleon III's government, 'which had long desired to possess localities overseas capable if need be of accommodating penal stations' .2 The first convicts did not arrive in the new colonly until 1864, when problems had been encountered in French Guiana, the site of the first attempt to apply the then widely held theory of the merits of penal colonization. The experiment as carried out in New Caledonia cannot be called a success, though hopes of success were obstinately cherished for some time in the light of inaccurate judgements of the foundations of Australia's growing prosperity. Henri Riviere, the vigorous naval officer who played a leading part in the suppression of the Melanesian uprising of 1878, had Australia very much in mind when in 1881 he drew a utopian picture of the prospects of convictism in New Caledonia if its aims were properly and whole-heartedly pursued. He admitted that things were not going well: he calculated that the number of free colonists in 1877 was still only 2,752, occupied largely in providing for the needs of a 'relatively unproductive population' of 3,032 military and civil personnel, 3,836 deportees (the Paris communards whose passage left little trace in the colony) and 6,000 convicts. Nonetheless, he thought, it was a foundation on which a prosperous colony could be developed if time-expired convicts were unequivocally restored to full civil rights and given scope to develop 'that individualism which alone is powerful and fruitful in the early stages 4 THE CROSS OF LORRAINE IN THE SOUTH PACI FIC of a society '. Free colonists should be limited to people with capital ready to make a place for themselves through their initiative and intelligence, not poor folk pursuing the mirage of distant wealth. Perhaps in such circum­ stances the free settlers could be brought to adopt vis-a-vis the freedmen 'that philosophical indifference which the British have in everyday life' and drop their attitude of smug superiority.

Symbols play a vital part in the ideological struggles of to-day. Ever since there first arose the question of European, organisation, a large number of suggestions have more particularly been produced in its connection, some of which, despite their shortcomings, have for want of anything ;. better .been employed by various organisations and private ' individuals. A number of writers have pointed out how urgent and important it is that a symbol should be adopted, and the Secretariat-General has repeatedly been asked to provide I a description of the official emblem of the Council of Europe and has been forced to admit that no such emblem exists. Realising the importance of the matter, a number of French Members of Parliament^ have proposed in the National Assembly that the symbol of the European Movement be flown together with the national flag on public buildings. Private movements such as'the Volunteers of Europe have also been agitating for the flying of the European Movement colours on the occasion of certain French national celebrations.

    CHAPTER 4: WHY JAPAN COULD NOT IMPLEMENT MASTER PLAN In Chapters 2 and 3 I showed how the Japanese had a good chance of winning the war if they adhered to the Draft Proposal for Hastening the End of War Against the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Chiang Kai-shek. The next question I would like to address is why, instead of being guided by the Draft Proposal, they veered far from it and ended up suffering an ignominious defeat. The most meticulous examination of the strategies in the Draft Proposal fails to yield even the faintest suggestion of engagements such as the Battle of Midway (considered the first step on the road to defeat, in which Japan lost four aircraft carriers) or the New Guinea campaign. Midway operation Nor do we find in the master plan (the Draft Proposal) language instructing the Japanese to head for Midway Atoll and from there, attack and destroy American aircraft carriers. As a matter of fact, occupying Midway Atoll was emphatically not in keeping with the policies in the Draft Proposal. I often hear comments like, “Remember the Doolittle Raid?1 To stave off such attacks we needed to shut down Midway, the advance base for attacks on Japan.” The Doolittle Raid did take the Japanese by surprise, but it was merely a clever scheme, a suicide attack that could be executed only once. The Americans launched 16 B-25 long-range bombers from the USS Hornet 500 nautical miles (900 kilometers) away from Japan, and proceeded to bomb Tokyo and other key cities.

  • Izydora Dąmbska SYMBOL
    Izydora Dąmbska SYMBOL Originally published as ”Symbol,” Studia Semiotyczne 12 (1982), 125–132. Translated by Magdalena Tomaszewska. The word ”symbol” (Gr. συµβoλoν´ , Lat. symbolum) has many senses. Origi- nally, symbol was understood as an identification sign, especially one created from two pieces of one object (e.g. a ring) divided with this purpose in view. Later, it could refer to any type of signitive objects — Goclenius writes: ”Symbola accipiuntur pro indiciis significantibus animo aliquid, ut loquuntur, intimantibus.” 1 The term ”symbol” also covered certain legal acts, agreements and ritual professions of faith. This sense has survived till today in such Polish names as ”symbol apostolski” ( the Apostoles’ Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Apostolorum ), ”symbol nicejski” ( the Nicene Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Nicaenum ), ”symbol trydencki” ( the Trent Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Tridentinum ). 2 Also, contemporary semiotics offers various conceptions of symbol. There are logical and mathematical symbols in science, quality sym- bols in technology and industry, religious symbols, symbols in poetry and art, symbols and symbolism in night dreams. A number one is the symbol of truth in Boolean algebra, and the symbol of an object’s high quality in technology. However, it is also said that the Cross of Lorraine became the symbol of the Resistance in France, while a skeleton has been a symbol of death for ages. There are symbols that are emotionally neutral (introduced 1Lexicon Philosophicum Graecum , Marchioburgi 1615: 215. 2The relationship between this

  • Issue 48, December 2020
    From the President Welcome to this edition of Call the Hands, our last in the Society’s 50th anniversary year. It includes a variety of short articles which are connected through various themes including the RAN’s first ship, HMAS Parramatta (I) and her namesakes. Another connection is the shared anniversary of the Naval Association of Australia (NAA) celebrating its 100th anniversary. Accordingly, we acknowledge our many readers who are members of the NAA. Their service in the RAN (past and present) has contributed to the history of Australia’s great Navy. The Society’s close connection with Parramatta (I) stems from the not insignificant project to recover her bow and stern sections from a Hawksbury River mudflat. These sections are now prominently displayed in Sydney. Additional information about this fascinating project recently came to light and has been published in the December Naval Historical Review now being distributed to members. We also feature a recent NAA commemorative service for HMAS Parramatta (II) and recognition of the commissioning commanding officer of HMAS Parramatta (III), Rear Admiral Guy Griffiths RAN, Rtd. Many interesting and sometimes obscure naval stories remain untold. Occasional paper 97 is a good example. It is the story of a small party of sailors landed in Arnhem Land from HMAS Fremantle (I) in 1958 to observe Japanese pearl fishing operations. This story was shared by Eric Deshon with Australian National Maritime Museum’s oral history volunteers and published in the ANMM’s volunteer newsletter ‘All Hands’ in June 2018. Recording historic events on canvas has been a traditional art form which continues today.

  • Australia and World War II John Curtin’S Decision to Recall the 6Th and 7Th Divisions to Australia
    MOMENTOUS DECISIONS Australia and World War II John Curtin’s decision to recall the 6th and 7th Divisions to Australia. • In the Japanese plan to isolate Australia from the United States, on 23rd January 1942, five thousand Japanese troops of the elite jungle- trained South Seas Detachment stormed ashore at Rabaul in the Australian mandated territory of New Guinea and quickly overwhelmed the small Australian garrison. A significant danger to Australia. • The Japanese then began to develop Rabaul into a major base for further military operations against Australia and the United States in the South-West Pacific area. • Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Kaga conducts an exercise. An unpleasant reality: ‘The mother country’ no more. • The gravity of the situation caused the Australian Government, led by Prime Minister John Curtin, to decide in February 1942 to recall Australia's AIF 6th and 7th Divisions from the Middle East to defend their own country. • This decision was forced on Curtin by a realisation that Britain was more concerned to defend India, rather than Australia, against the Japanese, and that little material assistance in Australia's defence could be expected from Britain. The situation becomes more dangerous. • On the night of 31st May 1942 three Japanese midget submarines entered Sydney harbour. • One became entangled in the boom net across the harbour, and her occupants blew her up (possibly this one?). Maybe the same one? Missing in previous photo? Australian sailors killed. • A second entered the harbour and fired torpedoes at the cruiser USS Chicago. • They missed the Chicago but one hit the barracks ship HMAS Kuttabul, killing 21 naval ratings.
