WAS IT INVITED?
LABOUR MINISTERS DIFFER
SYDNEY, 21st September.
Speaking at .Condobolin, Mr. A. jßlakeley, Minister for Homo Affairs, denied that Sir Otto Niemeyor came to Australia at the invitation of the Commonwealth Government. The fact was that tho Bank of England suggested to the Government that it should send a representative he-re with a view to taking over tho overdraft of the Commonwealth Bank and the Westminster Bank, London.
Mr. Blakeloy added that Labour had not and would not endorse Sir Otto Niemeyer's proposals to reduce the standard of living in Australia to that of England, with its two millions of unemployed.
Mr. J. A. Beasley, Assistant Minister of Industries, made a similar declaration at Queanbeyan, and added: "Financial interests abroad do not desire that secondary industries in Australia should bo developed. They desire that Australia should remain merely a Crown colony, producing raw materials for manufacturers abroad. Labour is certainly not going to allow that."
