COMPETITION FOR LOANS
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND STATES BRUCE’S ADVERSE COMMENT SYDNEY, Thursday. The Prime Minister, Mr. Bruce, passed through Sydney to-day after his election tour iD Queensland. He commented adversely on the competition between the six Australian States and the Federal Government for overseas loan money, and on the tendency of the State Governments to set up separate social departments for the relief of the very people for whom the Commonwealth was catering. Mr. Bruce recommended that the Federal Government’s national insurance scheme should be accepted as the basis of a social effort with gen eral co-ordination. With regard to workmen’s compensation, child endowment, and widows’ pensions, Mr. Bruce said no separate State could unduly hamper its industries by the cost of such social legislation.
