Pickyer,

I received mail from Len too.
It read something like this.

I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Kingaroy pilot plant, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of the Cougar directors-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.

The Cougar Empire and the Hotcopper members, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though large tracts of Qld and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Labour Party and all the odious apparatus of Bligh rule, we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Kingaroy,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Pilot burn, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this pilot burn or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Len and his team, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."
