THE REFERENDA MANIFESTO

MELBOURNE, March 7. • The Labor Party's referenda manifesto makes an urgent appeal to vote "yes,'' and points out that the Commonwealth laws- dealing with combines in view of protection have been found to be unconstitutional, and unless the people are content to be exploited without any attempt at retaliation, and to be ruled by the Trusts, the Constitution must be amended. The Federal .Government do not intend to introduce anything which enters into the domain of property belonging to the States. There is absolutely no question of unification. The effect of the referenda is to increase the self-governing powers of the electors.
