APPEAL FOR UNITY
NEEDS OF WAR EFFORT WARNING BY HON. P. C. WEBB [from our own correspondent] HAMILTON, Monday An appeal for unity in the Dominion's war effort' was made by the Post-master-General, the Hon. P. C. Webb, at the official opening of the Hamilton chief post office to-day. He said there must be unity if the Empire was to win. "Work as you have never worked before," he said. "Any miner who handles a shovelful less coal, any farmer who grows fewer turnips, any businessman who does not see that his business is conducted with the utmost efficiency is helping the Hitler crowd to come out on top. "It is a time for work, for_ blood, for sweat. Never were the Empire and this country so united, never was there so much determination. "It is too late to argue about what might have been. Let us get together in the workshop and on the farm and do all we can as never before to save the world for democracy and freedom against the forces of despotism."
