N.S.W. POLITICS
THE CENSURE DEBATE*. Received August; 12, 9.40 a.m. SYDNEY, August 12. In ids reply on the censure motion debate, Mr Storey said h© wanted no votes of Nationalists or Progressives who were not favourable to the victimised strikers of 1917 receiving another chance to earn an honest living. He was himself unable to attend Archbishop Man nix's farewell, but would not have hesitated to pay tribute to any gentleman holding high office, irrespective o* his opinions. Up to the time of his departure from Australia Dr. Mamrix •had said nothing objectionable. He expressed the opinion that the subsequent action of the British Government was instigated by Mr Hughes. Defending Mr Justice Ewing’s report, he said that no one would sentence a prisoner to 15 years on the word of a scoundrel, adding that the previous Government had induced Scully to leave Australia, offering a large sum of money and a free passage, also that the Government had kept him for a year and dictated what he should say. Mr Wearne, the Progressive leader, announced that he intended voting with the Opposition. He would oppose any effort to replace strikers at the expense of loyalists. The debate was adjourned.
