Takes Time Off For Recriminations
CANBERRA, December 23.
“It is the reactionary politicians of the British Empire, including Australia, who are responsible for a great deal of what we are now sorry for and unfortunately suffer,” said the Prime Minister (Mr. Curtin), in commenting on criticism of Australia in the London financial journal. “The Economist.”
‘“The Economist” said: "Until now it has not been possible to awake in them any sense of urgency or to make them insist on a National Government. If Australia now insists on looking to home for the rest of the war, which is indivisible, she should look to home in apportioning the blame for her present straits."
Mr. Curtin said “The Economist” had never favoured anything the Labour Government had done in any circumstance. That journal was notoriously an advocate of the chattel relationship of labour to money.
