POLITICAL CRISIS
PARTIES IN AUSTRALIA
PACT MAY BE IJNDED. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyriftht. Received July 23, 12.20 p.m. MELBOURNE, July 23. The negotiations between tjie Federal Nationalists and the Copntries for maintaining the pact against the Labourites have reached a critical point. Mr Bruce (Nationalist) and 'Dr Earle Page (Court tryjte) made a pact which, however, the members of the Country Party have declined to accept, contending thut it should have been submitted for the consideration of the party before acceptance, and they are now making certain demands on .the Nationalists which Mr Bruce declines to concede, demanding that the pact between the leaders should he honoured. The conferences so far have failed to find a solution of the difficulty. I ailure to reach an agreement will mean a break between the parties and the withdrawal of the Countryite members from the Cabinet and its reconstruction. —Press Association.
