PARTY UNITY.
STRONGLY URGED BY MR BRUCE,
RISING TIDE OF LABOUR
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT MELBOURNE, Sept. 23. In a speech at the opening of the annual conference of the National Federation, the Federal Premier (Mr S. M. Bruce) strongly urged the need for oarty unity and education along Nationalist lines if the rising tide of Labour were to be stemmed. He deplored the loss of enthusiasm and the wave of apathy in regard to the Nationalist aims, which were recently so apparent. The necessity for a party embracing all ranks did not end with the war, for it was to-day iust as necessary to solve the great problems with which we were confronted.
He added that unfortunately, owing to divisions in /the ranks of those who believed in the Nationalists’ policy, there was every possibility that Labour might be returned to power at the next elections and give effect to its strangling policy. Party, unity, organisation ' and education would alone prevent this.
