POLITICS IN AUSTRALIA.
NEW SOUTH WALES ELECTION-
SYDNEY, May 1, The Labour Leader, Mr Lang, opened his campaign to-night at Auburn where he delivered a policy speech, which was wirelessly broadcasted- He said that his party had no connection with the Communists who were being definitely refused admission to the official Labour Party. • Labour’s future policy would be one of spirited enterprise and initiative. He would not promise the millennium, but if Labour were given another term, it would be content to stand or fall on the accomplishment of its programme. The party would endeavour to increase the settlement of land and would not hesitate to raise the necessary money for tho purpose, even to the extent of settling twenty thousand new farmers and pastoraiists. Mr Lang states that the Nationalist Government’s policy of giving preference to immigrants in land settlement would be abolished. Labour stood for placing Australians on an equal footing with immigrants. He then outlined schemes for abolishing undue profits on primary produce and reducing taxation, and concluded an unimpressive speech, which had little reference to a definite policy.—Press Association.
