\ (Received sth February, noon.) . SYDNEY, This Day.

He suggested that the Loan Council be approached for financial assistance to- tide the farmers over a difficult period, and further promised support for a sales tax on flour, which would provide £800,000 a year. Tho Premier, Mr. J. T. Lang, declared that tho late Government was responsible for the present state of farmers, whose difficulties would be removed in the brighter days to come under Labour government. "-'
