Commons approve second reading of Cocos bill

-

London, Jan. 31.

The House of Commons tonight gave an un- opposed second reading agreement in principle to a bill authorising Queen Elizabeth to place the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean under the authority of Australia.

Agreement for the transfer of the islands from the control of Singapore was reached by Britain and Australia in 1951.

The islands are 1,161 miles from Singapore.

Mr Henry Hopkinson, Minis- Mr Dugdale said the House ter of State for Colonial Alfairs, | wanted to be certain that the said The Queen had placed her islanders would have the right to prerogative and interest as for go to Singapore or Australis, as the Was OTCYned al

For Normal Diplomatic Relations

RED MANOEUVRES TO

TEST THE GROUND

By Seaghan Maynes

Washington, Jan. 31.

The Soviet Union is believed ready to end its state of war with Japan if Japan insists on such a course as a precondition for negotiations to bring about normal diplomatic and trade relations, Washington officials said today.

The initial reaction of the Japanese Prime Minister, Mr Ichiko Hatoyama, to the Soviet pro- posal of such negotiations was that such talks could begin only after the state of war between the two countries had been formally ended by a Soviet declaration.

Official sources hero agreed with the Premier that the Soviet Union, if it wished, could easily make such a declaration on the same lines as that which a few days ago formally ended the war with Germany.
