B y Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright
Received 1.3 a.m., March 6. Sydney, March 5. Mr Beid, interviewed, said that he considered the people of Australia were at the present moment in a position of grave political danger. There were vast organisations, fall of enthusiasm, single-minded as an individual in their political actions, who do not fight amongst themselves over even financial questions, bent upon overthrowing as soon as possible all the foundations upon which our industrial system, “and I believe,” he added, “our national prosperity, are based. My grave, duty is to endeavor to prevent Australia . going down to the depths of Socialistic chaos. X look upon the matter as of vast, pressing consequence, not only for the people of to- j day, but for the people of all time I have determined to devote the best of my remaining faoulties and energies to a fair, square, honest fight with this great organisation.”
