BIGGEST
BLACK-OUT
The biggest black- out test ever held in Australia took place last night when for over an hour Sydney and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.
More then a million residents were affect- ed by the black-out which is officially de- scribed as most suc- cessful.---Reuter.

Simultaneously, howeyer, rela- tions with Turkey are being deli- berately exacerbated, possibly in the hope of serving as a pretext for avoiding an unpopular breach with Russia, possibly because the Government feels that war with Turkey would be the lesser of two evils.
