A historical speech argues Australia must fix its primary industries through tariff reform and practical finance. It critiques myths about bank-driven financial woes, urges reduced production costs and strategic loans, and proposes a national plan balancing sacrifice across workers and industries to sustain wheat, wool, and pastoral sectors.
A fragmented excerpt discusses doubts about revising economic policy including tariffs, costs of living, and wheat trade. It references Australia, the United States, Argentina, Federation, and Western Australia, weighing market prices and the feasibility of sustaining prices amid global pressures. The text raises whether the public can bear the price changes and reflects on national unity and peace.
The article reports Mr. Keenan urging Western Australia to oppose the present Federal fiscal policy, warning that current borrowing and expenditure threaten the state. He cites New South Wales defaults, a looming colossal debt, and argues for reduced costs, secured spending on primary industries, and avoidance of large public works loans to prevent unemployment and economic collapse.
The speaker argues for national non party government sharing sacrifices for the Commonwealth, citing Lyons Latham policy and banking socialisation as aims. He stresses secession as a less viable option and urges tariff revision and Federal-state cooperation to restore credit and stability.
