' A conference of seven Victorian political organisations opposed to the Federal Labour' Government agreed to accept the leadership of Mr. Lyons in the* coming Federal election campaign^ and pledged" itself to 'unity of political action. It was decided that the movement should be called the United Australia Movement.
