LABOUR PROGRAMME
“SPIRITED ENTERPRISE AND INITIATIVE” NEW SOUTH WALES LEADER SPEAKS Br Telegraph-—Press AssociationCopyright (Rec. May 1, 11.20 p.m.) Sydney May 1. The Labour leader, Mr. Lang, opened his campaign at Auburn to-night, where he delivered a policy speech which was wirelessly broadcast. He said that his party had no connection with the Communists, who were being definitely refused admission to the Of-, ficial Labour’Party. Labour’s future, lie said, would, be one of spirited enterprise and initiative. He would not promise the niillemium, but if Labour were given another' term it would be content to stand or fall on the accomplishment of its programme. The Party would endeavour to increase the settlement of land, and would not hesitate to raise the necessary money for that purpose, even to the extent of - settling 20,000 new farmers and pastoralists. The Nationalist Government’s policy of giving preference to immigrants. in land settlement would be abolished. Labour stood for placing Australians on equal footing with immigrants. He then outlined schemes for abolishing undue profits on primary produce and reducing taxation, and concluded an unimpressive speech which had little reference to definite policy. .—Press Assn.
