Dedication: Dedicated to Zita Joseph E. Smith and My loyalist friends. 'Sincere beyond measure and devoted beyond doubt.'
Epigraph: Autobiography:-
A Biography or narrative of one's Life,
Written by oneself - (Webster's Dictionary)
'Desire is but the Wind
And you the Helpless Leaf.'
Author's note: Prime Minister the late Hon. J.B. Chifley was one of my regular visitors. On one particular occasion e said to me: ‘Mr Samuels, next to me, I consider you the most Australia-minded man I’ve ever met.’ My reply to this highly flattering comment by him was: ‘Thanks, Mr. Prime Minister. That opinion, coming from you, is better than a Knighthood.’
