FACING FACTS
LABOUR PAPER'S CALL
"War in the Pacific means we will be directly involved," says the Standard, the official organ of the Labour movement. "We may have to face an invader. That is not pleasant to contemplate, but nothing is to be gained at this time by evading facts. There is no need for undue alarm, but it is necessary that everyone should realise that this war is not a matter of soldiers fighting on a foreign field. The war may touch these shores this time, and we must he prepared. To be prepared properly for all eventualities miut be our policy. We must pay or perish.' 1
