FEDERAL POLITICS
A SERIOUS SITUATION. DISAGREEMENT OVER PENSIONS. (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) Sydney, October 13. The Canberra correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald says that a serious situation has developed in the Federal Parliament. It was learned that the Country Party intended to insist upon an amendment of the Bill to give further concessions to old-age pensioners and that it would receive support not only from the Federal Labour Party and the Beasley group, but from the Government’s own supporters who are prepared to vote against the Ministry unless some compromise is effected. This is likely, but the Government regards the matter as vital, and if delegated would seek a dissolution.
