Public Sentiment
LEADERS STEP UP FINAL APPEALS TO VOTERS
Sydney, Dec. 8.
Australian Party leaders, Liberal Prime Minister Robert Menzies and Labour leader Herbert Evatt, today stepped up their final election appeals to voters with the polls scheduled to open on Saturday morning. Both parties claim the swing of public sentiment is in their favour, but the poor attendance at political rallies during the campaign is making it hard for experts attempting forecasts.

'MAKE INCLUSION MORE DIFFICULT
New York, Dec. 8.
A French move to make it more difficult to place so-called "colonial" items on the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly by requiring a two-thirds majority for adoption rather than the present simple majority was described by a British spokesman today as “a good idea.”
The French proposal is so far called only a "suggestion".
The British delegation prokter- man sold: "My delegation believes good

idea. It would help in the exer- cising of restraint in the placing of items on the agenda and we would support the idea."
Whether there will be time for France to make a formal move ot the present
of the Pession Assembly to bring about the required change in rules સ doubtful.

France walked out of the Assembly on September 30 in protest ngainst the decision (reached by a majority of one- 28-27) to place the Algerian question on the agenda.
She returned last month after the Assembly had urwormously approved A formada whereby debate on Algeria was avoided and the item was taken of the agenda.
