RECRUITING IN AUSTRALIA
Speaking at a civic reception - given last week at Maryborough (Vic:), the Commonwealth Prime' Minister, Mr. Fisher, said no matter'what 'statements were made the Government was not going to depart,from its recruiting policy.' It was not the business of the Government to go cautiously'in'a crisis such' as the present, but'to go daringly, and take all risks that were in the public interest. As far as'he was' <!oiicerned, he was not one of those who thought that party, criticism should cease in this crisis, 'it was a known" fact' that cor-' ruption had crept in before in such a crisis in a nation s history, and the "Government ■ would take steps that such would not be, the case in" the presentcrisis. It would keep a watchful, eye on even the most patriotic .people. It was the bounden duty of Australia to provide adequate home defence, and to do something, more than had been done in the past for the Mother which had done so much for this land.
