Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, Vol. 32: February, 1918 For the second time in the Space of a little more than twelve months Australia has been plunged in the maelstrom of con scription. Again, the Commonwealth has pronounced against the issue, and on this occasion the negative vote has been substantially increased. The size Of the adverse majority is surprising. To the Government it must have been an intense disappointment, for it can scarcely be supposed that the Ministry would have embarked on another campaign unless they were fortified with reasonable prospects of a favourable result. If it is to be interpreted as a pronouncement that the Commonwealth is war-weary, it is a deep humiliation to every Australian as well as every well wisher of that young country.
