DOUBLE DISSOLUTION
LABOUR PARTY'S PLANS
CREDIT AND BANKS THE ISSUE'S CANBERRA, 31st October. There is reported to be full confidence that the Labour Party is now going straight ahead for a double ,dissolution and a General Election. The- main issues will be the creation of credit and a challenge to the banks, which allegedly "are holding up the country and starving industry." .The only obstacle to the party's progress is the Senate, which is largely antiLabour. Sir George Pearce, Leader of the Opposition, in the Senate issued a statement on this subject to-day. He assured thrifty citizens of Australia that the Senate could be relied upon to safeguard their savings from, legislative spoliation, and the Senate would not be deterred by threats of a double dissolution. He pointed out that over four million Australians had two hundred millions sterling deposited in the savings -banks, apart from thousands who had deposits in trading banks and savings in insurance companies.
