FEDERAL REFERENDA.
AS VIEWED BY LABOR PARTY.
(Received January 26, 11.14 a.m.)
SYDNEY, Jan. 25.
Mr Holman states that a wrong construction has been placed on his Melbourne statement. He is quite in accord with the Federal Government as far as the referenda relates to effective arbitration, new protection, and nationalisation of monopolies. These were planks in the Labor platform, and as far as the proposals went beyond these planks he was opposed to them, and he would advocate their rejection.
Mr Verran, Premier of South Australia, who is visiting Sydney, states that he and his collegues are entirely in favor of the referenda proposals; as they will enable the Labor Governments to evade the obstructive tactics of the nominees of Legislative Councils.
