ACTS INVALID.
DRIED FRUITS CASE. Effects of Privy Council's Judgment. AUSTRALIAN MARKETING. Uriited Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 19. Mr. R. G. Menzies, Commonwealth Attorney-General, radioed the Australian Associated Press from the liner Strathaird, en route to Australia, saying it was impossible to comment on the Privy Council's momentous decision on the famous James dried fruits case, which went against the Government, until lie had seen the complete judgment. It seemed clear, however, that dried fruits, dairy products and wheat schemes would all become invalid, and organised marketing schemes on a compulosrv basis must either be abandoned or a constitutional amendment at once attempted. Sydney opinion is that the Commonwealth Government intends to seek an amendment of section 92 of the Constitution by way of a referendum, probably in January, in order to give the Commonwealth power to control trade between the States, which is denied by the Privy Council's decision.
