Andrew Fisher (Federal Premioi) states that his vomarlis about the waggon and the star are not to be taken as an announcement of Federal policy, but rather as a dull bit of humour on his part. “I meant,” says Mr. Fisher, “that if yon don’t aim high, you won’t do anything.” [A cablegram from Melbourne on Juno 10th, stated that the resolution passed at the Labour Conference in favour of six hour.) a day and fire days a week, was described by Mr. Fisher, as a modest ideal. Asked if he agreed therewith, ho replied: “Emerson once said, ‘Hitch your waggon to a star.’ ” He added that lie believed in trying to reduce the drudgery of life.]
