NEW SOUTH WALES
RESULT OF A COMPROMISE (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, November 23. The 1 Sun-Herald' understands that the new appointments to the Legislative Council in New South Wales are the result of a compromise. Mr Lang at first demanded fifty new appointments, to which Sir Philip Game was inflexibly opposed. Mr Lang unsuccessfully asked the Dominions Office to intervene, and he then suggested thirty-five appointments as the basis of negotiation. Sir Philip Game finally agreed to twenty-five, insisting on the right of scrutinising the names of Mr Lang’s nominees. It is understood that he rejected several on whom Mr Lang at first insisted.
Commenting on the appointments Mr Albert Willis (Agent,-General for Australia) said that important brokers expressed the opinion that there would be no immediate reactions on Australian stocks, but investors were naturally very watchful. If Mr Lang acted reasonably Australia’s credit ought to maintain the recent improvement. After Mr Willis had asserted that his efforts had always been directed to mutual adjustment of the difficulties between Sir Philip Game and Mr Lang, the Australian Press Association representative asked what was likely to happen if Mr Lang asked for another batch of appointments to the Upper House. Mr,Willis expressed the opinion that Sir Philip Game would again agree.
