"Still, if some people were to be silly enough to emulate the example of fhe Baby Lindbergb ease — and se? cure 'Baby' Lang" — laughter — "they wofild be in a fair way to making q tremendous fortune. They would metfely have to stipulate that if the public did nqt pay them a millioq q day ; they would return him." (Laugh-r ter.f "Rotten Morality." Mr; Campbell said the New Guard's funetions were not only to put down Communism, but to deal with the prolilem of eommercial morality, which was rotten in New Soutli Wales to-day. "Espeeially is this borne in on me when I see commereial interests in this State tying up in ways that will not bear the light of day, with representatives of those very people from whom Communist doctrines are emqnating, and I say' it is a gopd thjng the New Guard is here." It was a poor advertisement fo.r Australia to, sea half its male population over 50 and half its female population over 50 receiving old-age pensions. . "That is the proud record of a prpud people in a land of high wages and opportunity," he said bitterly.
