CANNOT BE LONG MAINTAINED

LORD LAYTON

Strasbourg, Aug. 24.-Lord Layton, dis- tinguished British economist, told the European Assembly today that he did not believe that pre- sent currency exchange ratios could be maintained for long.

Speaking as the only Liberal member of his delegation, Lord Layton raised this controversial question so far avoided by all British speakers, in the second day of the Assembly's two-day debate on Europe's economic crisis.

Canberra, Aug. 24.--Im- migration Minister Arthur Calwell on Tuesday accused, in a statement, many Chin- ese who are now resisting deportation. of wartime cowardice.

He said: "Many Chinese who now form the hard core of re- sisters of our immigration laws are not now law-breakers. They renched Australia as ships' de- serters who refused to go to sea i again and left all the risks of worlime ocean transport to their more courageous country men and allies."

Mr Calwell denied accusa- tions that he has not shown patience and discretion with Chinese worlimo rofugees, For over three years, he said, these people had been
