If there were any anomalies apart from this policy ho was prepared to deal with them. He declared that investors wero unable to produce evidence that Labour legislation had depreciated Australian credit. Tho production' of the Commonwealth was never greater and land settlement was increasing. There was no evidence of tho crushing effects of Labour legislation. Tho tax had not lowered land values, and the High Court could be relied on to safeguard the interests of those, affected. Mr Fisher strongly objected to the attacks oil Australian legislation.
