WHAT THE FLAG MEANS.
UNION JACK INCIDENT
In an address to the Tyneside munition workers a few weeks ago, Mr Will Crooks, M.P., said that when he was in Australia he saw the Union Jack flying 011 any lonely road with only a couple of houses in it. Once he asked if the flag was flying because of his visit, and he was told it was not “No one knows,” said an Australian, “that Will Crooks is here. The flag is flying to let the people see to which nation we belong.” “But,” said Mr Crooks, “no one passes.” “Never mind that,” came the reply, “we go out and look at it ourselves.” That, he said, was the spirit of the colonials who were co-partners of a nation on which the sun never sets.
