Ultranationalism was pretty rampant. Who said this? "We are committed to preserving the purity of the white race..." Bugger me if it wasn't John Curtin. Great post, SL. You really got side on, your leading arm was nice and high and with seam upright and the shiny side facing leg, bowled an absolute jaffa straight off the edge to first slip. Funny time, the 30s.

The fantasy reporting of the Soviet Union, for example. Once read a book of Churchill’s 1930s newspaper commentary.
