MILITANT LABOUR.
. MR FISHER’S OPINIONS. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPTHIOHT.] LONDON, June 6. The Labour Leader has published an interview with Mr Fisher, who declined to specify what monopolies the Government had in mind to nationalise if the referendum had been successful. He wanted Parliament to have power to nationalise monopolies that were dangerous to the general well being of the country. Asked whether collectivism was the ideal of his party, the Australian Premier said the platform did not go further than nationalising monopolies. The Government attacked practicable problems, he said, were not concerned with Utopian ideas. Mr Fisher incidentally remarked that one check to the labour movement in Britain was the opposition to women’s franchise. He failed to understand how advanced thinkers could justly refuse women the vote.
