ABOLITION OF PARLIAMENTS.
NOTHING DEFINITE DECIDED. /
PRESS COMMENTS. r ßy Telegraph, Per Press Association.]
SYDNEY, Jan. 11. The Prime Minister, Mr J. H. Scullin, says nothing definite is decided concerning the referendum for abolition of State Parliaments, to which Mr Blakely made reference yesterday. Press editorials already appeared trenchantly condemning the proposal. The “Sydney Herald” says: “We do not expect the States to bare their breasts to the knife at the impudent behest of Trades Hall extremists.’’
The “Evening News,” Sydney, points out if a referendum endorses unification, it will authorise an experiment which has never yet been tried in the '( instory of the world. Never before has A any nation tried to govern the whole j continent by democratic methods. Labour extremists probably hope to get Australia under one management, so that they can keep their fingers on its windpipe and jugular vein.
