AUSTRAL VOTE ON AMENDNENS Proposgd Change Would Open Way to Interstate Regulation. By the Associated Press. SYDNEY, Australia, March 5—The Australian commonwealth will pass on two proposed amendments to its 87-year-old written constitution to- morrow, and, incidentally, give a pre- election test to Prime Minister J. A. Lyons’ government. Opposition to the proposals, already approved by Parliament, has welled from groups holding the constitution to be sacrosanct. If the electorate also approves, the changes would open the way to federal regulation of in- terstate marketing and air transport. Most interest centers on the mar- keting proposal. The constitution now stipulates free trade between the states, whereas this amendment {would permit Parliament to prohibit passage of certain goods across state borders. ‘While the government’s search for adequate market control has been approved generally, administration opponents have asserted the amend- ment would be a potential means of supplanting free trade with a system of protection for the producer without regard to the consumer. The opposition has contended that such power should be delegated to the states—not the federal government. ‘The proposal supposedly was made in the interests of primary producers, especially those engaged in the dried fruit industry. But, if it prevails in tomorrow’s referendum, it was believed wheat growers and dairy farmers would come forward quickly with their own demands for recognition. ‘The opposition has declared that | prices of essential foodstuffs would be forced up artificially and that land values would increase, to the enrich- ment of those owning older and better cultivated areas and to the distress of recent settlers in outlying sections. The opposition represents mostly city dwellers and factory workers, whose costs of living it said would be boosted. The outcome of the referendum may forecast the turn of the next national THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1937. election, probably next Fall. The date | §% will not be set until after the corona- tion in London in May. Powerful groups believing air trans- | g portation constitutes a dangerous rival to state railways, in which the people have invested $155,000,000, constitute the principal opposition to the amend- ment to provide regulation of that new industry. : TRADE GROUP ARRIVES Netherlands Party to Discuss Im- portations From Brazil.
