UNITED AUSTRALIA PARTY
GREAT CHANCE OF RE-ELECTION. BRITISH COMMENT ON POLICIES. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 9.20 p.m. London, Aug. 15. “The United Australia .Party stands' an excellent chance of re-election,” says the Financial News in commenting oft the election addresses given by Mr. J. A. Lyons, Prime Minister of Australia, and Dr. Earle Page, leader of the Country Party. “Mr. Lyons’ speech is realistic. British merchant bondholders may look forward to the maintenance of exchange stability if he is returned to office.
“The British exporter has no more hope from r Dr. Page than from Mr. Lyons. Circumstances are outside the control of either. Mr. Lyons recognises this while Dr. Page does not.” “We are now to witness the absurd spectacle of Australia manufacturing its own textiles at a high cost rather than buying cheaply from Britain, while Britain is producing meat at a high cost instead of buying cheaply from Australia,” says the Daily Herald. “This is just crazy devotion to an impoverishing notion of national self-sufficiency.”
