Another Anniversary of Austraua's gallant Landing at Gallipoli has come round-a Day we all revere m honour of those who set out from Australia and gave t.heir lives in the noble cause 'J[ humllnit.}.

Although time may have ~oftened th!' sharp anttni"h ur their loss, it has nlso sh'own to u~ mure clearly the debt we owe them for their heroism. Let us cont10u· ally endeavour to live up to the gr~t idenl wbicn in· spired them and for which thPy gave the1r lives.

Aozac Day, 1923.

ms EXc;,ELLElfOY SIB ntAHOlS A. 11. NEWDEGATE, Jt.C.II.G., GOVERNOR

OF WBSTERlf AUSTRALIA.

On. this t he 8th Anniversary of the Historic Landing at Gallipoli, the 9th Anuc Day, as you are good enough to ask me to do so, 1, most willingly, send a m~st.al{t' to our Returned ailors and Soldiers, whose rriend11hip and fellowship 1 am so proud to possess.

It was, surely, the undaunted spirit of piont't'rs which inspired O\U Sailors and Soldiers. They wert' willing l.o lay down their lives, unflinchingly, for the sake or duty, conscious as they were of ultimn.te victory, under God 's Providence, whatever the difficultiPs to be surmounted .

ln times of Peace, it is this samt' spirit, in this great new country, which will overcome the difticul· ties of Nature, and will ml\ke this country and con1 .. munit~· more and more powerful in the Councils or t he Nations of the World. M,t.y the Returned Sailora and Soldiers, have e\·ery pos11ible prosperity in t.b.e coming year ; may reneweJ health be given to those who have so long and grievously suffered (rom what they under went in t he War ; and may the lOth Ar.zac Day dawn on a more peaceful world.

DB. :&A.IlLB PAGE, OOJO(Olr'WZ.t.L'l'H TUASURD.

The anni•eraary of the day thai. immorta.liaed Australia through the beroiam and g&llantry o{ her sold1ers at G. llipoli, thou~h aadden«.>d by the memoQ or her bra~ deaU, acta as a continual in.splratlon to us &Ji to emulate in the problem of ()("a« the glorious deeds of those gallant sons who fought. to bep Aua tralia free and as a call to male ct>rtain that Au!ltratia, by the continued effort of their aurvh·ing comrade • in-arms, should be made the land of frN•at. opportunity, beat conditio011 and greatest rrogreu in the world. Only thus can our national re[Jut.ation, which has been r&i!led to the pinnacle or ~lory b~ v.ar, be kept in ita ht~b place b) llUr achit'\ t>mPnt in p aN>, and it is peculiar!~· the pm ilege 11nd the dut) of thou atout­nearted Austrnlian lnldirt s who raaaed it so h1gh in those days of \\&r, to h·ad Australia t o those ,·ictoriea of peace which. &'I the poet Sllys, "are Dl) lea!. renowned than war," and whieh will make Au all aha a land ,.-orth living in ~~.& well as dying for.

The Editor of our pllJM'r pas bfo n good enough to aek mr for 1t me. 11age to m~ rHuroed aoldier comradea in connPction with Anzac Day.

1 just wan t to say thi~ : What imprc>aaed mr durtog the fir~t three months after the landing t.t 0 llipoli more than anythmg elae m thr war was-not so much the gallantr~ and determination or our men. l nevM doubtt:d that-but the magnificent spirit of aelf· sacrifice and unSt"lfishnes:s, and the absolute unii:y of aU rank11 in the <'Ommon cau11e.

l believe thAt the apirit. of eelf-.. eriface and uni("U­ishneas still predominate« with our mtn, and has b«n tested and pron•d in many ways ain<'c tbe war ; b\tt~61 our " unity'' I am not tlO !lUre. . urcly this ia the tim and llt'&t!On when we hould ~riouslv reflect and exam­inc ourl'clvcs ns to whether we are....:..Onc :md all-doing our best to prel\cr\'e that true spirit. of comradeahip which can rt>n.ll~ onb' be crca.ted on the battlefield, a comradeship that should continue to bind us together. not only for thE' Sl\ke of our mdividu:tl inter<-sb. but more particlarl~ to help nnd &~~sist our poorer and dis­trNl!ll'd comrades, and t.hc d<'pt'ndants of those who ~av«' their all for us and for ci'f.lisatlon: and to etcurc t o the best of our power, justile. a f1ur deal. and the fulfilment or promises made to the soldiers.

PAGB TWELVE THE LI8TENIN8 POIT,

I believe the beat and aureat manner to bring thit about is through the Returned Soldifrs' League, and by a real live interest in it, not only by paying a so~ scription,. but by a r egu.la.r attendance at the meetings, {lOtting in the right men to manage our affaire, and t rusting and whole-h eartedly supporting them. Unity is our strength and must be our watchword. W1thowt it, l fear the men to whom we owe so much, and the !'acrificcs so many of them made, ma.y soon be for· gotten.

CHAPL.Allf·GEN. ARCHBISHOP ~1, D.D. Robt•rt Browning might have been thinking of one

of our Anzac hcrO('S when he wrote of

" One who nl:'ver turned his buck. but marched breast forward.

Another .Anzac Day comes round, and with it comes the reminder of all that Anzac stands for. The mem­ory of those who•will never return; the memory o( those whose service to their country bas made life a dreary, painful thing ; the memory of those who. having ~~t oft their uniform. are indistinguishable from the c1tizens 'IVho throng our streets. But there is one memory which is only held by the soldier, and that IS the memory of dutv noblr douP a nd sacrifice patiently home. ln how ma~~ cti.I!~S is that all that is left to him, and he has gradually appreciated the fact that the fighter~ in war become the pawns to pl'ace! Blinded, ma1mcd and, hurt men bnve returned to realise that the promises so glibly qi,·en to them when dangers were thr~~-ening, arc now but political expedients and the vapour10gs o1

panic-stricke.Q. brains. Were soldiers receiving the full reward of aerV1ct:

there would be no need for them to still band together. but one finds that as the turmoil and shouting or war is d.ropping back further into the past, so i1.1 the hint and suggestion becoming stronger that the soldier'-' must take their places and chances with th" men who temained behind and exploited the opportunities given them during their defenders' absence.

~o spoken or written word can help us in our fight Cor remembrance of the sacrifices made, and soldiers should be onlr too pleased to help their less fortunate comrades throuiJb' the League, which has only one ob· ject in :ts existence. and that is the proper treatment of the returned men and their dependants. and the de· pendants of thnsc who wi II never come back. Year after year on Anzac Day we listen to the word!\ of appreciation for thE'jwork which the soldiers bM·e done. but still we ha,·e unemployment. and day after day we rece.ive complains of unfair treatment. It is to wage a continuous light against all this that your Leagu•• was called into existence, and the fight js increasing ln intensity as the danger years become dimmer in the minds of the community. You may be content yout·· self, but there are many who a rc not. You ma~· hn\"(' hnd all your promises fulfilled, but there are scores who have not. and it is for them we desire your sup· ,port and aid.

The League does not ask for limeliJ\tt. but man) things are done and victories achieved without a ...

clamour from the house-tops. We call upon all aoldiera {or their moral and financial support.

A.a the A.nniversary of the Dv,y upon which A\l.l· tralia was born a. nation approaches once more, our thoughts turn again to thou gallant comrades who sleep upon the breezy slopes of Gallipoli, the burnin" sand dunes of the desert, and in the mu.dd)' fields or France and Flanders. We call to mind tho e hosts of gallant fellows ~bo went forward, unwave.rini;, to their death. and ~e lee! that this day sbould be for e\·er kept sacred to their memory ; to be a day, rmt ao much of sorrow (though that 111 e\ er prl'st.>nt) bu.t of pride in their achievements, when bJ dying they 'trrOte

upon th l' Scrolls of Time the name of Austraha il\ imperishable letters.

we ft>el that a sacred charge is la1d upon ua to keep the memorJ of tbetr deeds for e,·er gretn, and nt the same time to do aU in our powf'r to ace that those who returned to Australia, disabled by wounds and aicknclja, have meted out to them that good treat­ment which tbey were prom1aed when p;oing upon S r­vice.

As each year pasars and the out"·ard · and l"is.iblt~ rffects or the Wn.r become less and less apparent, we find in the minds of the majority of the general publi<' a decided tendency to consider that the Returned Sol· diers have been well treated since their rt-turr •• and have recE"ived all they are entitlt-d to demand.

Although this may be true enough in most ca'". we know that nothing can be done for the men who lost their health and strength at the War, '1\·hicb can evrr compensate them for their loss.

Although we are receiving peusiona, we must not forget the long fight we have bad to get these p~nsions assessed on a reasonable aeale. We must remember that eternal vi~ilance is, in our case. the price, not of Iibert~ alone, but of our very existence. Only by unity can we hopl' to achieve our ends. "Every member can help. ~ matter wba.t his ability :>r disability may be, to do lonor to our fallen comrades llnd to let thr pubhc kJtOw that we are still existing as a. united Association.

One of those " Diggers" who stand out prominent ly for their support to'Wtlrds the League is Alex . Wilson, more popularly kp.own as "Sandy," of tho 11th Dattalion. Whilst away, Sandy got badly v•ounded about the face. Since his return from 'otive service, he bas been a very lceen supporter of the l ..eague. No matter what work is on hand, Alex. is well in it, and his attendances a t Collie Sub-branch meetings must constitute nearlY a record. "Sandy" is a splendid example of \\hat a member of the League should be, and ihere is no doubt that men of his cal.ibre do much to influence other " Diggers" io regard to furthering the interest of the' League, and the returned soldier gene· raUy.

"CameJo" · "Z.Z." (March " L.P ") mu1~ haYe penned hill article on war pen­sion ~barks after a very bad night out. The story of the bh1rk-hearted digger who took down the bnsiness mnn brought tear s of ebanie to my eye~t. When I read tht> next paragraph and found out that t here wae a neUofalot like him, I , as a self­respecting diggl'r, was so filled with re­morse that only a supreme effort saved rue from rnshing to the nearest pubbery and drowning my 80rrow. So ' 'Z.Z." is shy of doing biz with returned soldiers because he a lBO baa been taken down by them, and the businees man's opimon of di&gera im't up £o much, and he refn!l('s to p ve preference to returned soldiers. The inference is that diggers as a class are lower in hon~sty and integrity than the average s tay-at-home. including the JJlackPr. Being a bottle-o' my If, I shud­der when I think that t he blft<'k-hearted WTeteb aforementioned may also have bt>en a member of my p rofession, thm1 forcing me further into the mire.
