It cautions against sixth columns and vigilance committees, warning such groups can grow dangerous, as in Nations histories. It notes some officials support but fears later excess.

Handicaps and Comments On War Effort In Australia
A column lists horse names and betting odds for several handicaps including SOLDIERS HANDICAP and BLACK YAMMA, followed by a political opinion piece arguing for a stronger police force, more war-related work, and voluntary service. It notes Mr. Curtin’s stance on a National Government and calls for union cooperation with limited overseas service, ending with editor notes inviting brief letters.
