At Sydney

Sydney, Jan. 7.

Australia were quickly put on the defensive when the third ́Test resumed here this morning, two wickets falling at the same total when the overnight score of 110 for 1 had been advanced to 122.

But by lunch time, Australia had begun to make a recovery and the first innings score had reached 178 for 3 in reply to England's total of 290.

Although a thunderstorm broke over Sydney last night not enough rain fell on the cricket ground to affect the wicket which, at first sight this morning, gave every appearance of being full of runs.

The Last Time Of Asking

the practical approach to problem of bringing about settlement of the Korean dispute the latest proposals of the three-man United Nations cease-fire committee could hardly be improved upon. Their rejection by Communist China and Soviet Russia will conclusively prove to the world that neither of those two

desire a governments even

peaceful settlement in Korea, but, are deter- mined to pursue aggression in that country to the ultimate. Yet the latest re- proposals virtually meet all the quirements of Communist China and the Soviets and there is no reason why they should not be applied in a prac tical and successful manner. The cease. fire committee recognises that the Korean problem cannot be settled at one #troke; the alternative is progres- sive stages. The first, obviously, must be willingness on all sides for a cease- fire. Negotiations, otherwise, are out of the question. It is then suggested that when the cease-fire has become operative, there shall be put into effect a plan for the gradual withdrawal of all foreign troops in Korea. And once this second stage has been reached it will be appropriate to hold round-table conferences for the purpose of work- ing out methods by which the future pence of Korea is guaranteed and the country can politically and economical- ly begin to stabiilse itself. The pro- posal is that Russin, Communist China Bit ard Korean representatives shall with a United Nations commission in these conferences, presumably with equal status, thus giving the Russians and the Chinese Reda the opportunity of helping to shape the future of Korea. It is a logical and clearly honest attempt to bring about the end of hostilities and to preserve the peace of Asia. It is the Tubirb of Boron

not pleasant to visualise. The United States would press for unified action by the United Nations against Communist China, at least to the extent of severe economic sanctions, while, the United Nations* military commitments in Korea would need to be wholly reassessed. It is said that the United States is reluc- tant to suggest all-out military action against Communist China, a reluctance which is even more strongly felt by the other Western Powers. Neverthe- less the aggression of Chinese Reds in Kores represents the strongest chal- lenge yet offered to the authority of the United Nations and that organisa-- tion dare not abjectly ignore it, or fail to meet it with all the moral resources it possesses. Unless the Chinese Com- munista are prepared to heed the latest, and almost certainly the last, plan to be put forward by the cease- fire committee, grave decisions must be taken by the United Nations-de- clalona which may well alter the course of history.
