GENEROUS AID
Australia's Debt To Britain And America BONDS WITH THE EMPIRE Rec. 11.30 a.m. SYDNEY, this day. In an Empire Day address to the Royal Empire Society last night, the Minister for the Army, Mr. F. M. Forde, paid a tribute to the United States for her aid in the war. He said: "Australia, with her 3,000,000 square miles of territory and 7,000.000 British lives to protect, could not hope to hold this country against the avalanche of men and equipment that could be landed on Australian soil, if it were not for the generous assistance given by Britain and, now, by the great American democracy." Mr. Forde said that he was convinced that both the British Prime Minister and the Government are most anxious to help Australia, the loss of which would be a Staggering blow to the Empire. Australia's interests were indissolubly bound up with the interests of the British Empire and the other democracies. Australia was irrevocably committed to stand or fall with the Allies. There must be no half measures about Australia's contribution to the war effort.
