McCORMACK’S DENIAL
SPEECH AT BIRMINGHAM BY EX-PREMIER CONFLICTING INTERPRETATIONS Australian and N.Z. Press Association Reed. 11.31 a.m. LONDON, Friday. Repercussions from Queensland suggest that a speech of the ex-Pre-mier, Mr. W. McCormack, at Birmingham, is a subject of conflicting interpretations between the Nationalists and the Labourites. Mr. McCormack is requested by the Australian and New Zealand Press Association to say that he denies all speeches and writings in Britain which are in the slightest degree inconsistent with his Australian record. He explained that when he said at Birmingham that Australian labour would have to realise that ideal conditions must be sacrificed, he added the important qualification: “Unless efficiency and services are obtained in industry." Referring to arbitration, he said, “My view is that the Federal Court should be the sole authority, controlling industrial conditions both in the Commonwealth and the States," He proposes arriving in Queensland in December. Acting on the advice of London specialists with reference to his throat affection, he does not intend re-entering politics.
