The A.L.P. would make no attempt to reach agreement with the D.L.P. on preference votes. think quite a lot of D.L.P. voters will vote for us, particularly those who are out of work," he said.

D.L.P. rank and file support had remained higher in Victoria than in other States, where members were deserting their leaders. The Labor party would put forward its election policy at a later date, but broadly speaking it would impose selective import controls, permitting the entry of machinery and equipment for expanding industries. It would prohibit the import of American canned chicken and such things as jams and honey from Britain, which were in direct competition with Australian goods. "I do not think we should try regulate prices by bringing imports in the vain hope that imported goods will force down the prices of home-grown products," Mr.

Calwell said. Freedom of imports had weakened Australia's overseas reserves without affecting the price of goods on the home market. Mr. Calwell said. he thought the A.L.P.

would ease the heavy burden of indirect taxation, but this did not mean it would favor an increase in direct taxation. Taxation in Australia was relatively low for the highincome group compared with the rate of taxation in Britain for this group. £600 Goes in Week-End Raid Thieves stole £600 worth of women's and children's clothing from a Watsonia shop early on Saturday.
