HOMELAND ELECTIONS
LABOUR PARTY’S CONFERENCE. (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn— Copyright.) LONDON, March 15. There is feverish activity in all of tho political parties’ headquarters, as it is believed the election date has been fixed for May 30. The annual ten-day conference of the Independent Labour Party at Carlisle will give attention to the Administrative Council’s report, stressing the unprecedented difficulties due to trade depression, resulting in losses by branches of members, particularly in the mining, shipbuilding, and engineering areas, reducing the branches to 746. The resolutions for consideration include a condemnation of the Government for withholding and reducing the unemployment benefits;, the socialisation of the cotton industry; the speedy application of Socialistic measures to solve economic social problems; and taxation providing for family allowances to increase the workers’ purchasing power. Other resolutions support co-education, and condemn the Government’s foreign policy in deadlocking the disarmament negotiations and in appending reservations to the Kellogg Pact.
