THE Acting Prime Minister]
(Mr. Forde) says Aus-j
tralia needs 70,000 migrants,
and I say let us have them.
But let us first think of our
own other pressing need
water for the outback and
our miserable Dead Heart.
Give our country's deserts and
wastelands water at any cost.
Then we will have no more soil
erosion, and we would soon have
a great population.
This war, according to authori
ties, cost Australia between £50 and
£60 million a month. Just think of
this amount of money being spent
to water the outback!
Surely it would be better than
money spent on preparation for
another war, with all its destruc
tion, famine, and sadness.
ARTHUR E. COLEMAN.
