ANOTHER PACT.
LABOUR’S DEFEAT SOUGHT. POSITION IN VICTORIA. COUNTRY PARTY DIVIDED. BY CABLE--PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT, (Received Nov. 6, 11.50 a.m.) MELBOURNE, Nov. G. Negotiations which are expected to result in the early defeat of the Victorian Labour Ministry occurred when the Nationalist Party agreed to cooperate with the Country Party in the formation of a composite Ministry with Mr Allan as Premier. It was. stipulated by the Nationalists, however, that the Ministry should be under the joint leadership of the Country Party leader, Mr Allan, and the leader of the Opposition, Mr Peacock. The.party managers of the three nonLabour groups held a lengthy conference later, but owing to a division in the Country Party no decision was readied. Some members of the Country Party, it is understood, hold the view that it was not advisable to defeat the Labour Ministry at present, a& the Country Party is receiving acceptable legislation from tlie Labour Ministry. Important early developments are expected.
