A' ' - “Australia is thrown definitely upon her own resources to maintain solvency and provide employment through industrial, not Government, .enterprise, and to temper the severity, qf this blow upon her working people every worker must produce more. But until Labour’s own leaders tell their followers this in unambiguous. terms -we are Convinced that they will not accept the exhortation. Only in this way can the increased .taxation be met, and much suffering 'averted. “Every employer in the land will throw in liis lot with the employees ill making necessary sacrifices to oecure greater exports.- If;he can get wholehearted co-operation in ‘return,, with that 'closer understanding, Australia will emerge from this test stronger, fitter and richfer than she has ever been.” ’ ' *
