FEDERAL ELECTIONS
POLLING ON SATURDAY
THE MAIN ISSUES
(By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright (lice. December 8, 7.25 p.m.)
• •■ Sydney, December S. It would bo difficult to elaborate tlio ksues really to bo decided by tho electors at next Saturday's poii. Both parties claim as their inaiu planks autilirofiteering and Jinancial readjustment. Sinco tho Labour policy was announced tho atmosphere has become clouded' by many side issues of Hughesism and Hyauism.
Mr. Watt, the Federal Treasurer, as spokesman for the iVationalists, deiines the position as follows:—"Whether wo smash up Hie States nnd have unification : whether wo authorise the experiment of universal Socialism; whether this country is to be ruled by law or by direct action; whether we aro to have a career of financial debauchery and ineolvoncy; whether we are to overthrow compulsory training and declare Australia defenceless l nnd open to any predatory tuition; whether Bolshevism etiall stalk in Australia; anil whether we shall weaken and destroy our Empire partnership."-
The Labour supporters scornfully repudiate Mr. Watt's assumption that their success at the polls would lead to tho fulfilment of hie .comprehensive jeremiad.—Press Assn.
