AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY
TO HAVE ITS OWN BANK
One About to Be Organized to Com

MELBOURNE. December II. 1911.
The cherished dream of the Aus
tralian labor party, the creation of an
Australian state bank, competing with
private banks and providing the labor
government with powerful financial
arm, is about to be realized.
The Fisher ministry has brought in IA
measure establishing the institution, and
already the private banks are talking of
amalgamations and unions to meet the
new rival. The scheme has, as at pres
ent outlined, few alarming features IL
provides, however. for a savings bank
branch, which must seriously compete
with the savings banks of the six state
governments and attract therefrom a
considerable portion of the spare cash OF
the thrifty working classes.
The capital of the bank, which Is to
be raised by debentures, convertible into
inscribed stock, is fixed at S5,OO0,0oO, and
the MANAGEMENT is placed in the hands OF
a governor and a deputy governor The
commonwealth revenues are TO guarantee
the solyency of the bank. Half-yearly
balance sheets are to be laid before the
federal parliament. The commonwealth
treasurer is to be supplied by the COVER

excellent purpose of making men Of
