AVOIDING A CLASH
SENATE AND CHAMBER,
(Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) PAEIS, 3rd April. The proposed oil and sugar monopolies promise to become a serious, perhaps vital, political issue. The Senate's Finance Committee took the proposal out of the .Taxation Bill, recommending the creation of special Senate commissions to study the Chamber's monopoly projects therein. The Chamber passed the taxation because monopolies were included.
The Finance Committee's action seeks to avoid a direct clash between the two Houses, and may provide the Government with means of escape from immediate difficulty, but the Government may have to begin the whole taxation business over again, since it must either maintain the monopolies or risk defeat in the Chamber or ask, the reluctant Senate to accept proposals in which it risks defeat.
