THE AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL ELECTIONS
"pHE Federal Elections campaign which is now proceeding in Australia does not promise to change the Government. Mr. Curtin, the Labour Party’s Leader, is apparently unable to make much impression on the public with his two real issues banking, and the forty-hour week—and consequently he has deemed it expedient to create a third issue, namely, conscription. Conscription not being an issue, he has found it necessary to work up a fear of it. In this Jie has probably made a mistake, for despite the inability to carry the conscription issue during the Great War, the Australian public is intensely patriotic.
