DR EARLE PAGE
1116 STATEMENT AT GRAFTON. (A uslmlian Press A ssaciation.) SYDNEY, February 21. Speaking at Grafton, Dr Earle Page said Mr Lang Tiad been made the dictator of New South "Wales, and was steadily and relentlessly pursuing a policy of destruction of capital and private assets by taxation that tould no'l be paid out of the income. Every effort was directed toward Communism and State ownership with repudiation as the coiling stone of the work to damage Australia. If Now South Wales refuses to pay the interest instalments it automatically breaks from the Federation. The North won't be content to remain with the repudiationists and therefore must withdraw there from and form a new State as West Virginia did in 1861 when Virginia infringed tln> constitution and placed herself outside the union scheme of Government. He suggested a simplified legislature of fifteen to thirty members paid only for sitting days.
