MR LANG INDIGNANT
CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Press Association. SYDNEY, March 16. (Received March 16, at 12.40 p.m.) “ The strenuous campaign of calumny and misstatement which has been raging in Sydney in the anti-Labor Pross for the past fortnight is finding an echo in the Press of Britain and other States,” said Mr Lang. _ “1 am afraid that the present campaign of vilification has been inaugurated seriously to injure tho State, if the Government’s opponents would coniine their criticism to the truth, no exception could be taken to it, but the present campaign is one of naked falsehood and defamation. Not one word of official opinion has from the Dominions Office on the powers of the Government or of State Governors, yet by a subtle perversion of tho cables an attempt is being made to lead the people to believe that Downing Street is against the Government in the present crisis. I warn the public carefully to read all tho information purporting to come from either the Dominions Office or from the Government of the State.’’
