WRONG LABEL
MR WILLIS’S CANDIDATURE. PROTEST BY MR H. E. HOLLAND. By Telegraph—Press Association WESTPORT, June 6. Mr H. E. Holland, Leader of the Opposition, declares that it is wholly erroneous to describe Mr A. C. Willis as an “Australian Labour” candidate. “Mr Willis was not nominated by the Australian Labour Party, of which Mr J. H. Scullin is Federal Leader,” said Mr Holland, “but by certain affiliations of the New South Wales Labour Party which is led by Mr Lang, and is not linked up with the Australian Labour Party. The facts of the brief internecine war which led to Mr Willis’s independent candidature, and the Australian Labour Party’s decision not to enter the Bull! fight, are so completely common property, that I find it difficult to understand the cable people’s persistence in placing the label of ‘Australian Labour’ on Mr Willis.”
Mr Holland expressed a hope that recent happenings in New South Wales would result In the Australian and New South Wales Labour Parties composing their differences in favour of united action in every electoral contest.
