“KILL OR BE KILLED*
SIR EARLE PAGE’S WARNING MUST FIGHT AS NATION Sydney, Aug. 23. I “We must get fighting mad. It is a matter of kill or be killed,'* declared Sir Earle Page, the newest member of the Australian War Cabinet to-day. The view that this might prove a 10 years’ j war for which he had been criticised was realistic, he said. “We must fight as a nation on land, sea and air, on farms and in workshops, morning, noon and night. We must watch the Japanese cult of bushido with a crusading determination to blot the Japanese off the map in the Southern Pacific,” While the United Nations’ production was outstripping the Axis Sir Earle Page warned that it was a mistake to dismiss Japan’s shipping position too lightly. Though her losses had been I heavy she had seized half a million tons of Allied shipping since entering tha war.—P.A. Special Australian Corree- ; pondent.
