If and when voluntary enlistments fail to provide the required number of overseas reinforcements, total conscription will no doubt be enforced, and the remaining, if any, NRMA soldiers, will then be drafted overseas, whether they like it or not.

A possible hypothesis to account for the state of mind of some of those who desire a. postwar continuance of wartime controls is that, in some respects, these controls have brought about economic equal ity.

The romantic theme of the Cinderella story seems to have come tn;e. The great difficulty of carrying wartime rationing of freedom into times of peace is that it would involve a moral judgment on the part of a government official.
