GIVEN COLD SHOULDER
NATIONAL PARTY RENEGADES IN HOUSE FEDERAL PARLIAMENT OPENS CANBERRA. Wednesday. The Commonwealth Parliament was opened today without ceremony. Mr. Norman Makin, Labour member for Hindmarsh, South Australia, was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. Messrs. W. M. Hughes, W. M. Marks, and G. A. Maxwell, the three members who broke away from the Bruce Government, also Mr. Massey Greene, who withdrew from the National Party only yesterday, sat by themselves on the Opposition side of the House. Their former party has been sadly depleted since the election, and it was noticeable that their former colleagues assumed a most unfriendly manner toward them. The Governor-General's Speech indicated that an attempt would be made to improve the Federal Arbitration Act after a conference between representatives of the employers and employees. Representatives of the Commonwealth are to attend the Five Powers Naval Conferences to be held in London. They will also attend the Economic Conference. Reference was made in the speech to the steps taken to restrict migration and to suspend compulsor}*- military training.
