Summary
Australia proclaims to the world that she conducts an independent foreign policy; she has never attempted to maintain, as Switzerland has done, that her status either is or should be one of permanent neutrality. Allowing for the fact that any national policy will contain features which are peculiar to the country concerned, it can be said that Australian policy should subscribe to those general principles which may be applied to test the validity of the foreign policy of any national state which does not possess a neutral status.
