THE LANG GOVERNMENT

FINANCIAL BLOCKADE PREMIER'S LATEST MOVE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, April 15. The Premier’s office to-day notified the Moorclield Racing Club that the totalisator must not be used at to-mor-row's races. This will prevent the Commonwealth from obtaining revenue from this quarter. The Lang Government has also placed an embargo on the totalisator at forthcoming pony meetings. POSSIBILITY OF A REVOLUTION. THE GOVERNOR PERTURBED. SYDNEY, April 16. (Received April 16, at 10 a.m.) In the event of the High Court deciding against the New South Wales Government on the motion to compel the banks to pay all State moneys paid to the Commonwealth, the Governor will dissolve the State Parliament. This view is expressed by well-informed people. It is believed that the Governor is extremely perturbed at the possibility of a revolution, the trade unions having announced their intention to take their place “ in the fight which is impending,” and is accordingly enlisting aid from returned soldiers and placing a united organisation at the disposal of the Premier. UPPER HOUSE APPEAL CASE. LONDON, April 15. (Received April 16, at 11 a.m.) The Privy Council case was adjourned until Monday after Sir Richard Cripps had finished his address to the judges, lasting thirteen hours.
