“There is no 40-hour week in Australia,” said Mr G. G. McCaul, when speaking of Australia’s war effort to the Wellington Junior Chamber of Commerce. “The people are putting their backs into it and everybody appears to be working hard. Of course they have their labour difficulties, but these are mostly regarded as insignificant compared with the great war job on hand. There is an air of determination in Australia that is inspiring. Everyone is anxious to help. Society women are working in munition factories, determined to do something more than knit socks or make comforts for the soldiers.”
