LONDON, Jan. 13 THE Time, commenting on the hostilities in Manchuria, says there is little doubt of the ultimate object of the Japanese Forces to obtain control of Jehol and the immediate concern of the outside world is that the fighting will be kilised and will not spread into China proper..

(BRITISH WIRELESS SERVICE.]

Ruday, Jan. 12.-- SCHEMES for helping the unem ployed to spend their enforced leisure in congenial and helpful ways of voluntary service, which the Prince of Wales is doing so much to faster, have been launched in nearly 200 towns.

In the larger towns, several schemes are operating-in Liver pool, and the Merseyside, for in- stance, there are thirty social cen tres for unemployed men--and the activities take many forms

Occupation centres are popular, Disused buildings have, in several cases, been taken over at little or 10 rent and equipped for wood work, boot repairing and similar jobs.

THIRD TEST

ENGLAND WINS TOSS AND BATS FIRST

BUT AUSTRALIA' BOWLERS REAP EARLY HARVEST

(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY]

ADELAIDE, January 13. ALL who took part in the third Test match and everyone who saw the first day's play will have good reason to look back on Friday, January 13, as a day of fluctuating fortunes. The first sensation was the announcement that the Nawab of Pataudi will only figure as a spectator but this was a very mild one compared to the one provided by Australia's bowlers when they sent four of England's, best bats back to the pavilion with but 30 rung on a the score board..

Jardine won the toss and naturally enough elected to bat but with the early collapse of the English team it appeared that they would be in a bad way until Maurice Leyland and R. E. S. Wyatt became associated in a Gith wicket partnership which realised 150. ruos in 145 minutes. Thanks to their effort, England made some. thing of a recovery and at the close of play were 236 for 7 after having lost the first four men for a mere 30.

NAWAB OF PATAUDI DROPPED

ADELAIDE, Jan. 13.

After a startling collapse by the earlier batsmen, Leyland and Wynte saved England in the third Test great fifth-wicket to-day, in partnership.

Jardine won the toes to-day and decided to bat taking Sutcliffe out with him to open the England in nings before, 30,000. spectators.

Jardine made two changes in the English side which lost by 111 runs at Melbourne, Verity and Paynter coming in for Bowes and the Nawab of Pataudi, while Woodfull omitted O'Brien from the victorious Aus tralian team in favour of Ponsford, his former opening partner.

GOOD WICKET

The wicket looked perfect, and sunny weather favoured the com- mencement of the game with a cool breeze blowing across the ground.

Sutcliffe, Hammond, Jardine and Ames were back in the pavilion and England had only 37 ruas on the board against Australia in third Test.

That was the position at the lun cheon interval after dull batting on perfect Adelaide wicket this morning.

♫

Jardine partnered Sutcliffe in The National Council of Social Service, on behalf of which the stead of R. E. S. Wyatt, who was Prince of Wales broadenst an apNo. 2 in the first three Test in- peal, has received evidence from all nings, and Leyland, who was pro over the country of the genera noted in the last innings at Mei- desire to help with this importent bourne.

IRISH FREE STATE ELECTION

DRAMATIC BID BY MR.

COSGRAVE :

(THROUGH RECTER'S AGENCY)

DUBLIN, Jan. 12 A DRAMATIC counter-bid by Mr. Cosgrave, chief opponent of de Valera, to capture the deci- sive farmers vote in the coming election was made-to-day.

In a speech at Kildare to-day, Mr. Cosgrave said that if he was returned to power, he would remit the land annuities due in Novem ber and December 1032, in June, November and December, 1933, and June 1931, making his first collec- tion of the annuities at the end of

1934.

-Moratorium' and Reduction,

He added that when the time for further collections came round,

two years hence, he would only collect half of what the farmers had hitherto been paying as he believed they were unable to pay

more.

The announcement is likely to sway the votes of the farmers, whose deputies, instead of the Labourites, will probably hold the balance of power in the future Government.
