Feeling in New South Wales “A Great Day for Australia” Relief at Removal of Langism Resolution to Pull Together [United Press Association—By Cable—Copyright.] (Received 14, 9.40 a.m.) Adelaide, June 14. Referring to the New South Wales elections, the Premier of South Australia, Mr. Hill, said: “Saturday was a great day for Australia. Langism, the greatest obstacle to our progress and party politics generally, was smashed. At the same time the Commonwealth has now an opportunity of bringing the various Governments of Australia into line for the first time since the Premiers’ conference, when the Premiers’ plan was evolved.” THE WAY CLEAR. (Received 14, 9.40 a.m.) Melbourne, June 14. The Hon. S. M. Bruce, in a speech to the Chamber of Commerce, said:—“l think we can look with confidence to the future. If we steel ourselves a little while longer I believe we shall get out of our troubles rather sooner than many people to-day suppose.”

THE NEW PARLIAMENT. (United Press Association—By CableCopyright.) (Received 14, 9.40 a.m.) Sydney, June 14. The new Parliament will be called together for business on Tuesday of next week if 85 of the election writs out of 90 are returned by then. Parliament cannot meet if more than five writs are outstanding. The choice of the new Cabinet will be left in the hands of the two leaders, Messrs. Stevens and Bruxner. The Parliamentary United Australia Party decided on this unanimously and with the United Country Party this system has always been in vogue. A recount of votes in the Auburn electorate is being made following rumours of irregularities. Mr. Coleman’s supporters are still confident that he will win. THE CABINET. (Received 14, 8.30 a.m.) Sydney, June 14. In the absence of an official announcement it is believed that Mr. .Stevens’s provisional Cabinet formed after Mr. Lang’s dismissal will become

permanent and that tho couple of additional necessary portfolios will be created by the Premier himself. A decision on the subject will be made to-morrow. QUEENSLAND RESULT. (Received 14, 8.30 a.m.) Brisbane, June 14. The Treasurer, Mr. Barnes, commenting on the results of the elections in Queensland, said that the new Labour Premier, whose promises on the platform had swayed a large body ot voters, would soon be brought face to face with the necessity of adhering to the Premiers’ plan. It would be impossible for him to raise loan moneys without the assistance of the Loan Council. The onlv alternative was increased taxation when the realities of the situation presented themselves. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE GRATIFIED. (Received 15, 11.15 a.m.) London, June 14. The Stock Exchange was highly gratified at Mr Lang’s defeat. Australian stocks generally are marked up.
