THE TWO FLAGS
LORD MAYOR'S ACTION CONDEMNED BY FEDERAL PRIME MINISTER. MR LAMBERT'S REJOINDER. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.); Received October 15, 10.15 ajn. SYDNEY, October 15. The Town Hall flew no flags for Mr Hughes' welcome, so a party of soldiers hoisted the Union Jack on the main flagpole. Mr Hughes, commenting on Lord Mayor Lambert's action on the occasion of Mr Storey's death, said the Union Jack was condemned only by those who were enemies of the Empire. Mr Lambert's action would be condemned by an overwhelming majority of Australian people. Mr Lambert, who is at present at the Brisbane Labour Congress, sent word to Sydney explaining that the Australian flag was given the foremost position in accordance with the requirements of the Commonwealth consul ution, and so far as he was concerned it would always take precedence over other flags.
