FEDERAL FINANCE
V .OPPOSITION CRITICS, : (Australian Press Association) CANBERRA, November 6. Mr Latham,, Leader of the Federal 'OpijJbsitionj expressed the opinion that the ne\V duties and taxation will still further diminish the .revenue, and will therefore' defeat the Government’s object. He said the fact that the Government does not intend to balance the budget this year, gave rise to the idea that it may default in its payments either in Australia or overseas, with disastrous consequences to the country. Dr Earl Page, Leader of the Country Party, said: “The old delusion that we could tax ourselves hack into prosperity is being perpetuated. This l&ised budget will scarcely bring hack confidence in our methods of extricating ourselves from our difficulties.”.' . 1
