McGowcn, Holman, and himself believed that the Federal Parliament should be clothed with the power to enforce the new protection, to nationalise monopolies, and to give uniform industrial conditions, but thought the powers sought for were more than were actually required to give effect to these principles. Brisbane, March 18. The Premier, in a speech, declared that those running the referenda were the most intolerant people in the world, and were asking them to destroy the. Federal constitution, which would topple over their head? or give place to unification.
