LABOR AND THE WAR WAR PROFITS TO BE TAXED, Received April 23, 5.5 p.m. Sydney, April 23. Speaking at the annual conference of the Political Labor League, Mr. Vearce referred to the tendency in some directions to regard some phases of the Labor movement apart from the war and national life, as if they were separate from the Labor movement and Labor's hopes and fears. He warned them that no part of the movement could afford to stand aside and be a critic of the war. The movement must express itself through the war. Regarding conscription, Mr. Pearce declared t'hat the policy of the Government was voluntary enlistment, and before there was any change in this policy the Labor Party, and probably the people, would be consulted. He also announced that the Government would introduce a Bill to tax war profits.
