NEW STATERS
TALK FIGHT IN N.S.W. AGAINST FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SYDNEY, October 4. Mr Charles Hardy, the Leader of the Southern New State Movement, says that countrymen have taken up the gage of battle with the Prime Minister, Mr Scullin, who has declared against the creation of more States, and in favour of unification. Mr Hardy says: “With local legislatures abolished, and with all power centred in a supreme and unified Parliament, dominated completely by extremist policies, which already have inflicted casualties upon the primary-producing states, the Scullin Government aims at an industrial dictatorship, which would mean the disintegration of Australia. We have thus taken up the gage, and a fight is on."
