MONTHS OF TESTING
IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF AUSTRALIA FEDERAL PREMIER DEMANDS LOYAL EFFORT. FROM EVERY MAN & WOMAN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) CANBERRA, September 15. _ “The next six months will be the most critical in our whole history,” Mr Curtin told Australia today. The Prime Minister sounded a clarion call to all Australians to get in step with the fighting forces, subjugate self-in-terests, and forego pleasures in the task of staving off the Japanese.
He drew a sharp contrast between the reports of the Russians’ stand at Stalingrad and a report that a checkup in Sydney on a recent night showed that only two roof-spotters were on duty in the whole city. “The present austerity campaign is a virility and morale course for the Australian public,” he said. “Its purpose is to improve the quality of our nation. Each of us has to be a better and more efficient man or woman than we have been.”
Mr Curtin said that people were deluding themselves if they thought the Japanese could be defeated without a burning spirit of sacrifice. Everyone had to live this war intensely, with all his heart and with every other attribute.
