REFERRING to the arrest in Tapan of Mr. E. L. Woodin, the N. C. Daily News comments :- "This information reached us on Friday, bat we were saxious to get it confirmed before publishing it. The P. & O. officials were naturally unwilling to say anything about it, and the Hongkong and Shanghal Bank had no news of it, thingh Mr. Wradio is a director of that Institution. We understand that this is not the first time that the Head Office of the great local Bank has shown a disposition to keep the Shang. hal, branch in the dark as to matters of vital interest to the Bank,. It is difficult to understand how even the Superintendent in Hongkong could have been able to embezzle so large a sum belonging to the P. & O. Company.”
