HIS MASTER'S VOICE
An attack will be made on the Defence administration, and this, m spite of the fact that a National Cabinet Is In ollice. may lead to protracted debates. — (Daily Press forecast on the Session.)
The Parliamentary gramophone Has started on its annual moan, And now m. "slanguage" chic and choice "Jimmy 1 - will hear his master's voice. Soon 'twill give poor "Jimmy" benns, With pithy talk about canteens; Then he'll hear a 3weet rofrain In tho dulcet tones of Payne, On "Patriots" with German facet, And Teutons m official places.
On Trenth'am Camp there'll be a song, In Thacker's voice (both loud and long). Thon MeCombs's sweet tones do mellow On "Cost of Living" then will bellow. Yes, dear reader, you can bet Colonel Jimmy's going to get iiuch a bellyful of blether That he'll often wish he'd never Started out for name and fame At this "Ministerial" game.
