WAITING FOR PEACE
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND SOLDIERS.
LONDON, 23rd December.
The Australian and New Zealand commanding officers are unsparing in their efforts to create a new mental attitude among the soldiers. Every officer has been impressed with the importance of the new duties which have been brought about by new conditions. America and Canada are well ahead with their repatriation programmes. New Zealand is next. Australia started last. The Australian problem is most serious owing to the large number of troops to be re. patriated. At the moment when hostilirties ceased, when the uppermost thought in every mind.was to get home as early' as possible, the authorities set to work to make known the plain facts—firstly, the Australians and New Zealanders, de-. spite their long and glorious record, cannot leave France before peace is signed; secondly, the limitations on shipping will permit only of gradual repatriation.
