The Daily News says the Rugby League's refusal to invite Australian or New Zealand teams next year may causa some surprise. The League does not want to make tours cheap. It is officially stated that there is no desire to .have another tour yet. Although Australia will nob like it, tho New Zealandera, having beaten us in the test matches last season, earned the right to preferential treatment. They have pnly once visited England, whereas three Australian teams have made this tour. The council wisely ignored tho cry against the New Zealanders that they require a subsidy, whereas the Australians are prepared to come at their own risk.
