MOTION OF CENSURE
MOVED BY MR J. T. LANG. UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF (United Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, August 29. In the Legislative Assembly to-day, Mr J. T. Lang (Leader of the Opposition) moved a motion of censure based on the Government's so-called disregard of the privations of the unemployed, the "filching" of £3,000,000 from the wages tax fund and the diverting of it to the Consolidated revenue, thereby depriving starving families of much-needed assistance. The Premier (Mr B. S. B. Stevens). in the course of his reply, declared that the Government had actually spent £2,173,31,3 more than in the previous year on unemployment relief. The remainder of Mr Lang's speech, added Mr Stevens, lacked trust and real understanding of tho present problems. ' •. The motion. was defeated on a division on party lines by 53 votes to 24.
