LARWOOD'S FINE EFFORT
Sydney, Dec. 3. After a capital start, Aus- tralia suffered a series of disasters in the First. Test this afternoon, a brilliant spell of bowling by Larwood getting rid of three batsmen for the addition of only 22

At the lunch interval, the Aus- trallians had compiled 63 runs for 1 wicket.

The British power to send goods to America has been diminished owing to the American tariff. The resumption of payments would necessitate measures to restrict imports into Britain from the United States.”—The Sting in the Tail of the British Note on War Debts.

LONDON, DEC. 2. SELDOM HAS THERE BEEN SUCH UN- ANIMITY OF LONDON PRESS OPINION ON A· MAJOR ISSUE AS IS REVEALED IN THIS MORN- ING'S COMMENTS UPON BRITAIN'S DEBT NOTE TO THE UNITED STATES, WHICH :CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE BRITISH TAXPAYER IS ALREADY BEARING A BURDEN OF INTERNAL DEBT ON ACCOUNT OF HER ALLIES COMPAR- ABLE TO THAT WHICH WOULD FALL UPON THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER IF THE WHOLE OF THE DEBT DUE TO AMERICA WAS REMITTED.
Typical comments are:
Morning Post-The Note is a masterpiece of clarity, conciseness, and compelling logic.
Daily Mail. The United States must decide whether the world will be thrust back into chaos.
Daily Herald-This is not the special pleading of a debtor anxious to avoid a legal obligation, merely cold stern fact.
Daily Telegraph.-The Note is a careful unimpas- sioned statement of the realities of the tragic book- keeping of the war. It is no collusive effort of America's debtors.
News-Chronicle.-It is difficult to believe that this "devastating" Note will not considerably affect Ameri- ean opinion.
Financial Times.--The Note courteously offers choice between chaos and commonsense.
Times. It is a plain tale in plain language. unanswerable case is set out with great skill and straint.
