Anzac Day Commemorations In London

Mr. S.M. Bruce On New and Greater

Efforts

London, To-day.

THE LANDING OF THE ANZACS in Gallipoli was com- memorated yesterday by wreaths on the Cenotaph and by a church service and subsequently by a British Em- pire Service League luncheon presided over by Field- Marshal Lord Milne, at which a number of Gallipoli veterans, including Field-Marshal Lord Birdwood, Gen- eral Sir Ian Hamilton and four recipients of the Vic- toria Cross were present.

Special reference was made to the gallantry of their then Turkish foes and mention of the Turkish commander was received with cheers.

Mr.

Stanley Bruce, Australian High Commissioner, quoted tele- grams exchanged yesterday between the Australian and New Zealand commanders and the Turkish army, which were received with enthusiasm.

Mr. Bruce said that in the last war fought like hell and conceived for them great admiration and respect.

Australians the Turks

Mr. Bruce pointed out that in the last war, with a population of under five millions, Australia had sent 450,- 000 troops, and the Dominions as a whole had sent over one million.

POPULATION INCREASES

in

Since then Australia's population had also greatly increased. This meant a corresponding increase the military contribution which the Dominions were able to make in the present war.

Moreover, in the last war, Austra- lia contributed 600 flying officers who brought down 300 enemy planes, but under the Empire air scheme for the present war, the Australian contri- bution would be 14,000 pilots, 16,000 other members of air crews and 27,000 ground personnel.

Net effect of this would be a total of 30,000 Australian flying officers. as against 600 in the last war.

DETERMINING FACTORS

Similar progress had been made in Canada, with a much greater popula- | tion than Australia, and also in New Zealand and South Africa, and there could be no doubt that the contribu- tion of the combined Dominions to the war effort would be even more effective than in 1914/18.

Mr. Bruce believed that the Domin- lons and other parts of the Empire would again be one of the determin- ing factors in achieving victory for the Allies.--Reuter.
