Active steps are being taken throughout Australia to co-ordinate the forces opposed lo the Federal Ministry's financial policy in order to be in readiness for a General Election. In the event of the Scullin Government being defeated, Mr. Lyons will be asked to form a Ministry which will have the support of all organisations which have been seeking to stabilise the financial situation. These include the National and Country Parties, and the All for Australia League. Messrs. Lyons and Fenton addressed a huge meeting "at Adelaide tonight, and emphasised that Government by political machines must end. Mr. Lyons struck an echoing note when, responding to a flattering welcome, he shouted: "We are striking a match to-night which will start a blaze throughout the Commonwealth." He hoped that it would bring in its wake happiness and prosperity. He added that plenty of money would be available as soon as a Government was formed which would have the confidence of the people at home and abroad.
