LIVING STANDARDS
CIVILIANS MUST GET DOWN TO SOLDIER STANDARD DECLARATION BY GENERAL BLAMEY. ORGY OF SPENDING DENOUNCED. I By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) ' (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. “Every civilian will have to live down to the standard of the soldier if victory is to be achieved,” said General Sir T. Blarney, speaking at the opening of the National Savings campaign. “This country is still having a very good life,” he added. “There is definitely an orgy of spending in Australia. Every shopkeeper will tell you his receipts have never been higher. Australians have been driven time and again from stricken fields, all because Australians at home have not been ready to give all the time at their disposal and their full strength to prevent these disasters. We are using our money to give ourselves pleasure, whereas the time is long past when we should spend in this fashion.”
