VOTE "YES"
Description
Black and white leaflet encouraging people to vote 'YES'for conscription. "VOTE 'YES' Unless you want your mates at the front to think Australia doesn't care whether they come back or not. VOTE 'YES' Unless you want the Germans to think that Australia is tired of the war, and wants to back out. VOTE 'YES' Unless you want the French to think that Australia doesn't care about the two million men they have lost to help in saving her from a German invasion. VOTE 'YES' Unless you want Great Britain to think that when we said we would give to the last man and the last shilling, we were merely talking 'hot air'. VOTE 'YES' Unless you want the world to think that Australians are a set of miserable cowards, who are content to see their lives and liberties saved for them by the sacrifices of better men."
