THE VOICE OF AUSTRALIA
"We realise the financial sacrifices which Great Britain is making in ord,er that her word may ever be her bond. We know that every pound we spend on Empire goods means employment for the Empire's citizens and a (stirrer guarantee that they will remain under our flag and become, in turn purchasers of Empire goods. This question of the economic welfare, of the Empire is the most important we? have to face. Economic laws are inexorable; let us who belong to an Empire which controls one-quarter of the earth's surface do everything in our power to promote the purchase of the Empire's goods. Let us keep our people in employment under our flag. Great as are the questions of foreign policy, the defence of the Empire, and itjs government, this is the greatest to which we can apply our energies, for if we solve it we solve all others. It is the basis on which every race exists; ignoring it, nations dissolve and individuals perish."—iMr Bru'ce, Prime Minister of Australia. '
