LANG AND THE BANKS
DETERMINED ATTACK
GOVERNMENT IN PERIL
(Received 26th January, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day.
A bitter attack on the financial insti-. tutions was made by the Premier, Mr. J. T. Lang, in addressing a country Labour conference at Parkes. "Unless within the next three or four months," he said, "the- Goyernments of Australia have found means of breaking through the financial • net that has enmeshed them, every Government will be broken."
Referring to Mr. Reginald M'Kenna's remarks,' cabled last week, Mr. Lang said: "We agree with Mr. M'Kenna that salvation can only come through the adoption of some other form of currency. Sooner or later this problem must be faced by Australian Governments."
The Premier also repeated his preelection pronouncement that unless the people broke the power of financial interests those interests would break the people.
