An Archbishop's Question; "More in sorrow than in anger" (as lie put it) the Anglican Archbishop ol" Sydney asked: "If you can put a price upon sacrifice, we wonder what discontented men in war industry Avould have thought if Australian soldiers, before the very gates of Bardia had struck because they had already worked without stop for 21 hours for the magnificent sum of 2s? Moreover, these soldiers had worked in no ordinary circumstances. War correspondents on the spot have lold tis that these men, who. while only a while ago, Avere in some kind ot industry in. this country, were weather-stained and weary before the last assault took place, but their spirit was such that they could not be held back. They were unshaven, cold, perhaps hungry, but magnificent. Are strikes on the home front among their fel-low-men to be their reward. ITave these discontented men in war industry yet considered that they, each | man of them,, are as much part of Australia's army as the men who are i trained to lie in the front line."
