(Per Press Association.) (Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.) _ / Received June 7, at 10.30 a.m. SYDNEY. .June 7. The New South "Wales team t<j meet the Englishmen next Saturday is considerably altered from Saturday's players. Vest, Watkins, Burge, and Johnstone will replace Lawrence, Caples, Tye, and Latta. The critics are impressed, by the strength of the visitors, who deserved their win, as they were the better team on the day and showed excellent combination. The wonderfully fine backing up. in which the home teagi was weak, largely won them the game.. Only the fine individual play of some of "the Sydneyites saved them from a worse beating. With further practise the Englishmen are considered capableeven better things. Since the rain the long-delayed ploughing in the wheat areas is being feverishly pushed ahead. It is now assured that the area sown will largely exceed what- was anticipated before the rain fell. In some cases previously-sra-n paddocks will require resowing, but large areas which appeared doomed have been given another start. The report presented at the annual conference of the Australian Labor Party issued a warning that with the Government's narrow majortiy it was best rot to expect too much. If it were found impossible to carry out the programme another appeal would be made to the people for more power. The report urged the need for terminating the leases of. millions of acres held by large companies and financial institutions to provide living areas for thousands of land-seekers, who are unable to obtain land. It condemned proportional representation and the proportional system, under which electors were hoodwinked and unable to get a square deal. ' It pressed the neet!" for harmonious relations between the party and the Labor Council, but in order to secure this it is absolutely imperative that the personnel of the Council should be- changed, otherwise unity of effort, is out of the question.
