(fieceived 4th October, 2 p.m.)

SUVA, This Day. Sir James Murdoch, on the Niagara, returning from Britain to Australia in an interview, said that what was most noticeable in Britain was the passive peaceful invasion of her industries, the most important aspect being the Amancan control that was creeping into rural councils. During the past six months America had secured the electric light control of four councils a. great menace. <

When Labour was elected, a shiver went through England. To-day the Press and public daily and frankly acknowledge the work of Mr. Mac Donald. The turning point was Mr. Snow den s speech when a leading jonrneX said: "For the first | time for fifteen, years a British statesman has stood up for Britain's right." People began thinking, and, to their surprise, they find that the Labour policy in Britain. is more conservative than the Australian Nationalist policy. Sir James expressed a hope for a definite majority for Mr. Bruce '■ at the coming election. "Mr. Bruce stands as the one safety valve between Australia and practical chaos. While the party system remains, we must acknowledge Mr. Bruce as the one staple feature. .What Australia needs is industrial peace at home. One feels ashamed of the perpetual cry of 'Strike, strike.' We should look and strive for peace in our industrial life." .
