NEW AIR SERVICE

PORTUGAL'S EXPLANATION ("Reed. 10.50 p.m.) LISBON", Oct. 23 The Portuguese Foreign Office issued a statement that the agreement with Japan for the Japanese.air service from Palau to Portuguese Timor, for -which negotiations began in July of last rear, has been erroneously interpreted by foreign newspapers. The object, it is stated, is the development of passenger, mail and commercial traffic, and the agreement is similar to the one concluded with Australia since the negotiations with Japan began. Japanese-Portuguese conversations have already begun for settling the technical details of the new service. CHANCE FOR YOUTH POST-WAR LEADERSHIP LADY SINCLAIR'S APPEAL (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 22 The wish that, after the war, Parliament might be filled by men and women who had shared the dangers of the struggle was expressed to-day by Lady Sinclair, wife of the Air Minister, in an address to a conference of women Liberals. "There are few people anywhere and surely none to-day," Lady Sinclair said, "who are not concerned about the kind of world we are going to lire in after we have won the war. Surely the future must be fashioned by those to whom the future belongs—by the young men and women, those whom we call on first to fight the enemy when we are danger."
