N.S.W. ELECTIONS.

LABOUR LEADER’S SPEECH ASKS. FOR ANOTHER CHANCE (Bj Electric Cause—Copyright.; Au»u. a)iA N,/.. cause Ansooiaiinu Sydney, May 1. The Labour leader, Mr Lang, opened his campaign at Aubtfrn to-night, when he delivered a policy speech which was wirelessly broadcasted. He said his party had no connection with Communists who were being definitely refused admission to the official Labour Party. YRo said Labour’s future policy would be one of spirited enterprise and initiative, lie would not promise the mil lonium, but if Labour were given another term it would be content to stand or fall on the accomplishment of ils programme. The party would endeavour to increase the settlement of land and would hot hesitate to raise the necessary money for that purpose, to the extent of settling twenty thousand now farmers and pastoralists. The Nationalist Government’s policy of giving preference to immigrants in land settlement would be abolished. Labour stood for placing Australians on an equal footing with immigrants. He then outlined schemes for abolishing undue profits on primary products and reducing taxation, and concluded an unimpressive speech which had little reference to a definite poliy.
