Henry (Harry) Gullett, the press liaison for the Australian delegation at the Paris peace conference in 1919, was convinced that the valour and sacrifice of Australian soldiers had earned the nation the right to have its voice heard. In this, he was in complete agreement with the Australian prime minister Billy Hughes. Both were equally certain, however, that Australian interests were now ‘grievously imperilled’. These fears were framed not by the potential future actions of Australia's recent enemies, but by a suspicion that its allies were either ignorant of Australian concerns, or dismissive of them. Britain, America and Japan personified Australian fears about the post‐war world, as the correspondence between Gullett and his wife Penelope will attest. Furthermore, this article will show that though the war had been a seismological catastrophe, Gullett saw in it a further validation of his pre‐war commitment to immigration, which bordered on an obsession. Similarly, for the nation as a whole, the years between 1914 and 1918 heightened the strategic and economic concerns that had driven the nation to sacrifice so much of its human and financial treasure. White Australia, the Australian/British relationship and the concern over the nation's strategic vulnerabilities appeared as pressing in 1919 as they had been in 1914.

并非真正的信徒:亨利(哈利)古列特在巴黎和平会议上

1919年巴黎和平会议上澳大利亚代表团的新闻联络员亨利(Harry)Gullett确信,澳大利亚士兵的英勇和牺牲使该国有权表达自己的声音。在这方面,他与澳大利亚总理比利·休斯(Billy Hughes)完全同意。然而,双方都同样确定澳大利亚的利益现在“受到严重损害”。这些恐惧的根源不是澳大利亚最近敌人的潜在未来行动,而是因为怀疑其盟友要么不了解澳大利亚的关切,要么不理them他们。英国,美国和日本体现了澳大利亚人对战后世界的恐惧,古列特(Gullett)和他的妻子佩内洛普(Penelope)之间的往来将证明这一点。此外,本文将表明,尽管这场战争是一场地震灾难,但古列特(Gullett)在其中看到了他对战前对移民的承诺的进一步证实,这一承诺迫切困扰着人们。同样,对于整个国家来说,1914年至1918年之间的战略和经济关注加剧了驱使国家牺牲其大量人力和财力的战略。白人澳大利亚,澳大利亚/英国的关系以及对国家战略脆弱性的担忧在1919年像在1914年一样紧迫。1914年至1918年之间的岁月加剧了战略和经济问题,驱使该国牺牲了太多的人力和财力。白人澳大利亚,澳大利亚/英国的关系以及对国家战略脆弱性的担忧在1919年像在1914年一样紧迫。1914年至1918年之间的岁月加剧了战略和经济问题,这驱使该国牺牲了太多的人力和财力。白人澳大利亚,澳大利亚/英国的关系以及对国家战略脆弱性的担忧在1919年像在1914年一样紧迫。
