Four magnificent 5 acre sites to be offered for private sale this weekend PARIS, Thursday. A French parliamentary committee charged Australia with hypocrisy yesterday in an angry attack on nations protesting against the French nuclear tests at Mururoa atoll. The 65-member National Defence and Armed Forces Commission of the Gaullist dominated National Assembly called Australia hypocritical because it had not objected to British tests in the Monte Bello Islands and US tests in the Pacific. The commission also lashed out at Australia for its participation in the Vietnam war and its failure to condemn US bombing of North Vietnam.

The commission's statement reflected increasing irritation in France over the snowballing protests which seem destined now to result in at least one diplomatic break between France and Peru. Strongly supporting the Government's decision to press ahead with the tests, the commission said curtly: "The security of the nation and the future of Europe go before all other considerations." It was not immediately clear how official the commission's statement was nor whether it reflected the Government's view. However, a well informed source claimed it did represent France's position. Mr 6401, A.H. Liverpool nir From into the The statement came about five hours after the weekly Cabinet meeting also had discussed the tests.

After this meeting a Government spokesman, Mr Jean-Philippe Lecat, stressed that the blasts would be "innocuous." As for the test schedule, the secrecy remained. The commission, which is headed by hard-line Gaullist Mr Alexander Sanguinetti, said it "denounced the hypocrisy of States whicn never uttered the least protest against British and American tests in the Pacific or Soviet tests in Europe and Asia, which were notoriously more numerous and more powerful." These Stales had sometimes directly associated themselves with the tests by accepting that they took place on territory under their sovereignty. "This was the case of Australia with the Monte Bello Islands, although they are very close to the Australian continent," it said. Then it said: "Australia and New Zealand in particular are participating, through credits and the sending of (armed forces) contingents, in the Vietnam conflict, and have not had a word to say against the massive bombardments of North Vietnam which directly threaten populations submitted to the HORSLEY PARK It would be difficult to find more perfect land!
