MR. LANG'S ATTACK. ON COMMONWEALTH BANK CHAIRMAN. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 10.3 a.m.) Sydney, this day. The State Premier, Mr. Lang, 'attacked the chairman of the Commonwealth Bank Board, Sir Robert Gibson. He said that Sir Robert Gibson was conducting the Savings Bank business in deliberate opposition to the State Savings Bank, having received information that the Commonwealth Bank was opening a number of branches in opposition to the Government Savings Bank. Mr. Lang added: "It is clear to every reasonable minded man that Sir Robert Gibson's personal antipathy to me is a very important factor, and I should say • the main motive in prompting the Commonwealth Bank to do all in its power to retard the rehabilitation of the Government Savings Bank. I do not mind Sir Robert objecting to me personally or to my politics, but I do very strongly object to his using the money supporters of the Commonwealth Savings Bank to build palatial premises and conduct the savings bank business in deliberate opposition to the State Savings Bank in centres where the State Bank is well able to provide the necessary service.
