Nauru Island Control The Prime Minister of Australia (Mr Chifley) has announced that Australia would shortly submit a draft agreement for the trusteeship of Nauru Island to the United Nations.

New Dominion of India The United Nations legal department held, in an opinion today, that the new Dominion of India would retain membership rights in the United Nations, and that the Pakistan Dominion would be regarded as a new non-member State.

N.S.W. Liquor Laws The first summons under the Liquor Act has been issued to the secretary of the Royal Sydney Golf Club. The police and scores of licensed clubs regard the case as a test case, and the decision will determine whether private clubs, which hold a liquor licence, have* to observe the same rules about liquor as hotels and licensed restaurants. The summons alleges that the secretary permitted the club to be opened on Sunday and that he permitted persons to consume liquor on the premises during prohibited hours.—Sydney, August 13.
