THE QUEENSLAND ELECTIONS
STATEMENT BY EX-PREMIER. CAUSES OF THE DEBACLE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright BRISBANE, June 1. Mr Denham (ex-Premier), on leaving office, made a statement to the press. He said that one cause of the Liberal defeat was the attitude of the Public Service through not receiving increases owing to the war. Another cause was the unfounded utterances regarding the responsibility of the Liberals for the high cost of living. Two members had offered to resign their seats in his favour, but he had decided to at present stand out of Parliament. The portfolios have not yet been allotted in the new Labour Ministry.
