A German Complaint:
To the Editor,
Hongkong Telegraph. -Sir--It has been noted with great regret by the local German community that the political' ton- dency of your paper has recently undergone a distinct change with regard to Germany. Formerly the information you published on Ger- many used to be fairly impartial, and it was appreciated that from time to time you also published articles which tried to show the German point of view on the situa-, tion in Germany. This has been: changed radically now, and it would appear that the anti-German Propaganda In the Hongkong Fele- graph is on the increase.
