STATES PROTEST
FROWN ON FEDERAL’S MOVE FOR POWER
REFERENDUM BILLS PASS United P.A.—By Telegraph Copyright Reed. 12.45 p.m. CANBERRA, Today. The Federal Government’s three Referendum Bills—one providing for complete power to amend the Constitution, the second for power to control industrial affairs, and the third for power to control trade and commerce—all passed their third reading in the House of Representatives. Members representing Western Australia and Tasmania declared that there was no hope whatever of the first proposal being carried. The electors in their States were not prepared to allow the Federal Government to “dynamite” the Constitution. Rather would Western Australia and Tasmania prefer that the Federal Parliament should be abolished.
