RUINING THE COUNTRY..
LANG AS DICTATOR POLICY OF DESTRUCTION. (Received 10.40 a.m.) United Press Assn —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, This Day. Speaking at Grafton, Dr. Earle Page said that Mr Lang had been made the dictator of Neiy South Wales and was steadily and relentlessly pursuing a policy of destruction of capital and private assets by taxation that could not be paid out of income. Every effort was directed towards Communism and State ownership, with repudiation as the coping stone of work to damage Australia. If New South Wales refuses to pay her interest instalments, it automatically breaks from the Federation. . “The north won’t be content to remain with the repudiationists, therefore must be withdrawn therefrom, and form a new State, as West Virginia did in 1861, when Virginia infringed the constitution and placed herself outside the union scheme.” A Government he suggested was a simplified legislature of 15 to 50 members paid only for sitting days.
