MELBOURNE, Saturday. Commenting' on the speech by Mr. J. T'f L"ahg, at the Premier s* Conference, MrV- J. A.* Lyons/ Prime Minister, said- that the former was runnihg true to for'm. ; He burst'forth with a speech made up of a tissue of misrepresentation and hitterness. This was his only contribution - towards the alleviation of unemployment. He left for Sydney • casting aside all semblance of British honesty and square dealing, and coming out in' his true colours. Hjs statement about the proposed abolition of the Arbitration Courts was sheer fabricatioh. "Mr. Lang wants to .pay no interest and spend more borrowed money," said Mr. Lyons. "He obviously does not want to relieve " unemployrneht. He wants to continue his policy ' of kfeeping many of his supporters oh fiill time works and' incre'asing the ranks of the dole receivers until the system breaks down, when he will bring fbrward a' Socialistic plan. • " ' "He desires to prevent the' unemployed from benefi'ting under the relief loan scheme. ! Mr. Lang's proposals can only bring/ruin to the producers, savings bank depositors, old aga and war pensioners, and the big body of employed' and tmemployed workers." ' •
