Description

Black and white Referendum leaflet."SEDITION. SHIRKERS' NEW ALLY. The shirker has joined forces with the seditionist and the convicted criminal. In Sydney, on November 13 last, T.W. McCrystal was sentenced to nine months imprisonment for sedition. He is a member of a committee of an organisation styling itself the 'Returned Soldiers No-Conscription League of Australia'. BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. This body is not part of, but is disowned by the Official League of Returned Soldiers. When McCrystal and his freinds ask you to turn dog on their pals in the trenches, you know what manner of 'men' they are. ARE THEY DINKUMS? They make it easy for you to do your duty. Give the men who are fighting for you and yours the help which McCrystal and his friends would deny them and VOTE YES."
