“LET’S BE REALISTIC”
“Let’s be realistic,” said the Minister of Labour (Mr Shand) at the Australian Imperial Forces Association’s breakfast after the dawn service yesterday. If the significance of Anzac Day was to be kept there must be a change in thought. “We honour our cobbers in the morning, but we do not stay solemn ail the rest of the day, and we should not insist that the rest of the community should stay solemn,” he said.
For Anzac Day, he proposed the Australian Idea —“a Sunday morning and a Saturday afternoon.”
