CHALLENGED
GOVERNMENT ASKED TO SEEK MANDATE ON WAGE-CUT PLAN United r.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 10.15 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. Bitter opposition is shown toward the Bill to restore the 48-hour week, which was introduced in the Legislative, Assembly by the Treasurer, Mr. B. S. Stevens.
Mr. Baddeley challenged the Government to go to the country for a fresh mandate.
The measure also provides for the rationing of work and for legal sanction of piecework. Cabinet has definitely decided to exclude the Police Force from the wage-cut proposals. Commenting on the announcement that a Swedish match factory will be started in Australia this year and on the fact that British capital is prepared to build a rail-way to the outer suburban seaside resort at Newport, Mr. Stevens said the mere fact that British capitalists are anxious to invest in Australia in private industry is some evidence of their desire to trade with Australia. The extent of their trade will depend upon the fiscal policy of the Commonwealth. » “I believe,” he went on, “that the Inability of the Government to borrow the same amount of loan capital as hitherto will Inevitably mean a transference of external capital to Australia for private investment.”
