VERDICT MUST BE ACCEPTED.
-ADSTRALIA'S BITUATION:
This is the situation with which Aus tralia is faced: Fighting abroad for our liberties with Germany wo are menaced at home by men who arek to stab the Empire in the back-by men who are against this war for liberty imposed upon the civilised nations by the great military despotism of Germany-by men who seek to force pan an intolerable tyranny and to make government impossible.
The verdict of the people, no matter how influenced, has been given and must be accepted, but I feel certain that very many Australiana. already regret a vote which now, when it is too late, they see has brought joy into the camps of our mortel enemy, and made evident to allment worthy of the name under auch what is the policy of those mainly sponsible for the anti-conscriptionist cam paign (Hear, hear.) What must have been the feelings of tens of thousands of loyal Australians who, misled by the outrageous misrepresentations of design ing men, voted "No" when they read in this morning's press the enthusiastic approval of their action by the Germa Preas. Professor Manes, in an article in the Possiche Zeitung, says The result is the sharpest condemnation of the whole policy of Mr. Hughes, who is the most noisy and abusive Prime Ministeri of enemy countries. It means the complete defest of the loudest advocate of a com inercial war against Germany. It means that the Australian force cannot be mais tained at. its previous strength, and it means that the other dominions cannut consider · the "introduction of conscrip- tion."
What must be the duty of any Govern
circumstances! It is to carry on the war with vigour, to prove to the Empire and to the world that the heart of Australia beats true, that it owes its existence to the Empire, and realises that only through | the decisive defeat of Germany can the Commonwealth maintain its existence and achieve its destiny. (Applause.)
THE MEN CALLED UP DE A word as to the men called up under the proclamation:-It is a most grati- fying thing that, despite the efforts of the anti-conscriptionists to prevent the men obeying the law, the numbers repert ing were actually in excess of Mr. Knibbs' estimate, but some thousands have not presented themselves in camp. as required by the law. They will, how- ever, have to do so, as the law must be obeyed. The purpose for which they were summoned to camp was that they should receive such training as might make them Is there one man or woman who voted immediately available for reinforce- "No" and who loves Australia who doesments. As the verdict of the poople is not feel humiliated and ashamed to set in what light their action is regarded in Germany (Applause).
COMELINDATION FROM GERMANY. These words of commendation, from those whose hands are red with the blood of our Australian soldiers; these words of jubilation from the slayers of women and children; these marks of approval of those inhuman monsters who have with fiendish malignity inoculated British: prisoners with foul diseases, must burn themselves into the very soul of every true Australian. To be patted on the back by. Germany is to feel the band of a leper upon one's face.
Can any loyal Australian who voted "No new doubt that he has played the game of Germany 1 No; and when they turn from the world beyond the seas and look at home, what comfort can they derive from the events of the last few days, which have revealed the intentious of the mouthpieces for I cannot call these men leaders who move and speak only when and how they are told-of the organised No" vote!
I said during the campaign, and repeat it now, that something more than the mere question of compulsory enlist ment for reinforcements was involved in the referendum, It is perfectly plain that there is in this country a number of persons who are opposed to this war who are against the Empire, and who will do all they end to prevent Australia doing her duty as part of the Empire. The strikes and upheavals, political and industrial, we see around us are the manifestations of a deliberate policy which aims at destroying society as it now cxists. They are the work of men who, (Continued at font of next Columa.)
against conscription for oversea service, the Government proposes to accept that. verdict. The reason for which the men were called up no longer exista........... It is therefore not the intention of the Govern- ment to retain the men in camp for any length of time, and after a month's train- 108, dating from the time the training began, which would be of great value in
case of a reverse, and will be of no detri- will be sent back to their homes, ment if things go as we all hope, the men.
The Government bows to the decision of the people, which it invoked; but because it feels assured that the great majority of the citizens desire, above all things, that Australia should do its duty in this great struggle, it will not allow those who seek to dishonour and wreck Australia to bar its path but will resolutely press on with the policy upon which it was elected, and which it has unfalteringly pursued since the outbreak. of hostilities. (Loud and prolonged cheere.)
who also spoke, said the action, of the Senator Pearce, Minister for Defence, Government in issuing the proclamation had had the effect of bringing some of the more thoughtless of our manhood for the first time in their lives face to face with war duty (Cheers.) A considerable number of them had shown they were made of the same stuff as the men who had gone before. The records showed that in every State when these men had come into camp they took on their work just as willingly as their colleagues and thousands of them had already volunteered to take their place in the ranks. (Cheora.) He was satisfied that, at any rate, the proclama tion would have the effect of placing in the field as reinforcements thousands of men who otherwise would not have found their way there. (Loud cheers.)"
