This was a new party that had come torth-in the two years following the war, ‘It was the_party of the agricul- turalists, favoring low tariff, retrench- nsent In national = expenditutes, and conseevatism in government, While on the face of the 1919, returns Mr, Hughes had a bare majority of one, his actual working majority was much greater, for the nationaltbts and the country party had some few things'in common, while the laborites and country party were antipathetic in every principle. TLabor stands for farm Jaborer and also a minimum wage, for' vapious forms of state so- clalism and other radical measures. The country party flonirshed in oppoms ‘| ing such measures, For a long time Mr, Hughes succeeded in obtaining the support of the country party in every division in parliament, and thus his position was secure. Began to Weaken But toward the end of his second termr of threc years as prime minister, Mr. Hughes began to lose the support of both thewcountry party and ‘that portion of the nationalist party which had been the old Iliberal party. And it is this fact which makes his suc- cess at the polls next month prob- lematical, Waltt, leader of the old liberal party%and a member of Mr. Hughes' coalition cabinet, withdrew his support from the prirme minister |followlng a spectacular quarrel in which Mr. Watt charged that he had heen sent to London on an important rofficial mission only to find his pow- (ers negatived by direct action from Melbourne. Mr. Watt immediately began to undermine Mr. Hughes' po- sition in the nationalist party, and now claims that the liberal portion of the party will draw out at the next election and will leave Mr. Hughes with the remnants of the followers— it is said they number only 10—that 18 { BLOOMBERG’S Y.

Cause of Quarrel The quarrel between the prime minister and the country party began over the question of the government's financial policy. In a speech, typical for its ‘force and frankness, Mr. Hughes started a controversy that] ended. with an attempt to redistribute the seats in the house of representa- tives so as to wipe out two rural con- stituencies where the country party had polled their largest majorities. Dr. E. A. Page, leader of the country party, opposed the measure and suc- ceeded in blocking the prime minis- ter by gaining the support of Mat- thew Charlton, leader of the labor party, and Mr. Watt, Dr. Pagé then openly vewed ‘vengeance against Mr, Hughes and declared that the minis- try must be retired. Thus the situation stands with ‘the fight centered on the election of the house of representatives, The contest in the senate is not considered im- portant, for only 18 of the 86 -seats are filled at each triennial election, and at present the senate ig aimost completely nationalist, and strongly for Mr. Hughes. Labor is not in a strong position, 1t is not expected to increase its strength in the house of representa- tives, though even if it should Mr. Hughas could look for littfe support from that party, for it has never for- gotten his break-away in 1916.
