LABOUR REPORTS. SYDNEY, Jan 7. Reports presented at the annual eon- ' fereuco of the Australian Labour Party I issued a warning that with Govern- f meat's narrow majority it is best not to I oxpect too much. If it wore found im-I

I possible to carry out the programme 1 another appeal would bo made to the J 1 people for more ower. A report urged j the need for terminating the leases of! millions of acres held by large eompan- j ies and financial institutions, to provide I | living areas for thousands of land seekers, who are unable to obtain land. They condemned proportional representation and the proportional system under which the electors were hoodwinker, and' unable to get a square deal. They pressed the .need for harmonious relations between the party and labour council, but in order to secure this it was absolutely imperative that the personnel of the Council officials should be changed, otherwise union of effort was out of the question. ,
