Effect of European War On Japan
Tokyo, June 23. Informed political quarters declare that Japan is faced by n critical re- orientation of her foreign polley in the face of the sweeping changes in the international situation conse- quent on the rapid developments of the European war.

DANES LIVE IN FEAR OF GESTAPO
From E. de NEVE
AMSTERDAM.
GRIM pictures of conditions in Denmark under Nazi domina- tion were given me by a Dutch- man, who has just arrived here. He had lived in Copenhagen for three years, but does not intend to return as long as the Germans are there.
"I don't want to experience the miseries that are looming for the Danes," he declared.
"Before the Germans arrived, life in Denmark was freer and easier than in any other country I know,
"But now nobody trusts his neigh- bour. People no longer dore speak openly for fear of Gestapo agents.
"It has become dangerous to listen- in to foreign broadensts.
Country Isolated
"In this way Denmark is isolated from the world, and all the informa- tion the Danish people receive are the one-sided Nazi reports.
"Nervous tension in Copentingen is so great that the Government has had to forbid the use of sirens in the harbour.
"When the alrens began to blow the inhabitants fled from. the streets, fearing that British planes might bomb the Germans.
"A panle was caused by the British attacks on the air base at Aal-
borne Germans bad spread a story
that the British would certainly bomb the town."
I asked my informant if there was
u shortage of food in the country.
"Hardly any fruit or vegetables are obtainable," he replied,
"Margarine is no longer made, but there is for the moment enough bread, meat and butter."

A Look Through: The Telegraph"
50 YEARS AGO
June 1, 1890, The excellence at the arrangements for signaling steamers-especially the malls has frequently been questioned, and of late complaints are increasing. The other day the signals at the Flagstaff shewed that one vessel was 14 miles out, at a time when i was moored in the har in port an hour before anybody-even about it. When, as is after the case, the Peak is encircled with mist, it is natural that signalling should be interrupted, but that can be obviated by creating an ad- ditional station on Green Island, below the ordinary... strata of clouds.

Judge Sir Peter Grain said the circum- stances reminded him somewhat of the story concerning the clock in a longkong. court-room which was removed by thieves while the Judge was sitting. He asked, "Could the Judite in that case have been considered guilty of contributory negli- kence? Were there any, means whereby he could have known that the men were not watchmakers, and was it unnatural of him to think that the thieves were honest workmen in vlow ut the cir cumstances? Sir Peter Grain added that those questions applied in the present case : and he would give judgment for the ad ministrator. '

Whenever the Hongkong Government has sought to place fresh burdens on the community. It has almost invariably brought forward the argument that this Colony a one of the most lightly taxed places. In the world. At last Thursday's Council meeting, the old, familiar cón- tenlion was once again untilaed in datence · of the new taxation proposed, flgures bo- Ing cited to drive home, the point. The public, however, is not likely to be con- vinced by this method of pulling the caRC, for the simple reason that when we come to consider the question whether further laxation can be limposed, we have to take account of other factors besides that of existing laxes Chief among these..as we have aften had to point oul, is the mattor of ordinary living costs; and no one with any knowledge of local conditions will deny that these are excessively high in Hongkong.
