AUSTRALIAN LABOUR
CURTIN-EVATT CONTROVERSY [by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
SYDNEY, December 8. Relations between Mr. J. Curtin, the Federal Opposition Leader, arid Doctoi’ Evatt, of the same party, are, according to the “Sunday Sun” becoming strained. Dr. Evatt hed a section of the Labour Party last week which aimed at securing a yet further Budget concession from the Government. Mr. Curtin, in the course of a statement yesterday, said that the Opposition regretted that they could not secure a larger measure of their policy. Nevertheless, they had kept firmly in mind the obligation to make Parliament workable. Dr. Evatt, replying to Mr. Curtin, said: “I agree that it is the duty of the present Parliament to become a workable institution. This means that Parliament itself should exert the fullest control over the Government. It certainly does not mean that the present Government should be allowed to continue in office.”
