NATIONALISING MONOPOLIES
AUSTRALIAN PREMIER INTERVIEWED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright, London, June 6. The Labor Leader has published an interview with Mr. Fisher, who declined to specify what monopolies the Government had in mind to nationalise if the referendum had been successful. He wanted Parliament to have the power to nationalise monopolies that were dangerous to the general well-being of the country. Asked whether collectivism was the ideal of his party, he said the,platform did not go further than nationalising monopolies. The Government attacked practical problems, he said, and were not concerned with Utopian ideas. He incidentally remarked that one check to the Labor movement in Britain was the opposition to women's franchise. He failed to understand how advanced thinkers could justly refuse women a vote.
