LEADERS FAIL OUT
MR. HUGHES’S COLLEAGUE DESERTS HIM Reed. 1 p.m. SYDNEY, Today. Mr. Walter M. Marks, Independent member of the Federal House of Representative for Wentworth, who by voting with Mr. W. M. Hughes helped to defeat the Bruce-Page Government, has now resigned his membership of the Australian Party which he assisted Mr. Hughes to establish. Mr. Marks says he disagrees with some points in a pamphlet which Mr. Hughes has just published, notably a bitter personal attack on Sir Otto Niemeyer, also his references to Britain and the Bank of England. Although Mr. Marks, Mr. Hughes and other members of the party had just attended a conference, the leader never said a word about his intention of publishing the pamphlet. The defection of Mr. Marks leaves Mr. Hughes the sole survivor of the seven Federal members who formed the Australian Party last year.
