BOYS FOR AUSTRALIA.
Big Brothers' Movement Meets Difficulties. CONFLICTING FACTS. (Received 11.SO a.m.i LONDON, February 3. Lord Forster, president of the Big Brother Movement, has issued a statement pointing out some of the difficulties the movement is encountering. On the one hand Sir Granville Ryrie (Australian Hi<;h Commissioner) writes to the* Press that Australia cannot obtain all the boys wanted, while on the contrary the Big Brother Movement iturning away boys because of the small demands of Australian States.
The position here is that vac-antics are all filled until May, in addition to which there is a waiting list of 100. Parents prefer to wait rather than let their sons go under any other scheme. The movement urgently requires more openings in Australia.— (A. and N.Z. and Sydney '"Sun.")
