PLEA FOR AUSTRALIA
LONDON, 20th September.
Tho "Daily Express," in a column editorial entitled "Tho Truth About Australia: What She Did for the Empire," declares: "Here is a continent whoso inevitable development will amply repay whatever money is devoted thereto.
''What aro our bankors thinking of? Australia, which fought for tho Empire tigor-like, presents herself at their counters. They examine her requests for assistance with a microscope, yet make loans to enemy countries with open hearts and purses. Just let us remember what Australia did in the greatest crisis the Empire ever faced. Tho debt is not ropayab© in cash. If every financial obligation wero cancelled, we in Britain would still owe our Australian kinsmon a perpetuity of gratitudo and admiration for the war. Tho British public simply will not stand having Australia's problems assessed in cold terms of pounds, shillings, and pence."
