Electorate speech on Cowper results and policy aims
In Cowper the candidate thanks electors and supporters, notes a big slip at unattended booths, and asserts Labor holds an absolute majority. He outlines aims: remunerative returns for producers, steady prices, federal control of electric power and water, transport across sea land and air, and regional development. He calls for unity in water and power projects, and opposes State socialism while stressing postwar reconstruction with allies.
