Justice For Territorial

p. 37 · Read in the full issue

Letter to the Editor fIIHANKS for your stand for justice for A the people of the Territories, in the face of opposition you ought not to have met. I was saddened to see so many people, who have suffered so much, pre pared to accept a beating from Canberra, and raise such little protest. These Aus tralian Ministers are talking a great deal about reconstruction for Australia: why can’t we fight on and force them to think of some reconstruction for the Territories?

If we cannot get reform, then by all means let us appeal to America—at least, we then should have energy and go ahead methods. The action of people in casting doubts on your loyalty, because you have the courage to demand decent consideration for those who have suffered so much loss in the invasion, has only made many of us more determined to fight.

I am, etc.,

Sydney.

W. Herbert-Hughes.
