"WARNING! AUSTRALIA is FIGHTING FOR HER EXISTENCE! VOTE YES FOR VICTORY."
Description
Black and white Referendum leaflet. "WARNING! The ANTI'S have commenced to cloud the issue. They are side-tracking the question. The VITAL FACTS to remember are:- AUSTRALIA is FIGHTING FOR HER EXISTENCE! Germany conquered and crushed Belgium in three weeks. Belgium had a population of Nine Million to defend a small tract of country. Australia has only Five Million to defend a huge continent. If Germany defeats the Allies AUSTRALIA IS DOOMED! Keep the war at a distance by reinforcing the men who are holding the enemy at bay! VOTE YES FOR VICTORY".
