Little To Celebrate With And Little To Celebrate For In Most Of Europe
London, Dec. 29.
Europe will celebrate the beginning of a new year either with a high-priced coal market gaiety or with the meagre food, drink and entertainment which is likely to prevail throughout 1947. There is little more to celebrate, with and little more to celebrate for in most countries.
Associated Press BRITAIN'S
Again Victim Of Falsifications
Hongkong, Dec. 30,
For the second time within this year The Associated Press was the viciim of a falsification of its news, when an illegal source put out four stories, one stating that a new ter- rorist wave had started in Indo-China "evidently Inspired by Moscow,"
The stories were typed on paper aimilar to that used by AP with the one on Indo-China carrying n n Sal
gan
dateline and saying that ter rorists had seized all banks and ransportation. It was undetermined whether this was an attempt to coerce holders of Indo-Chinese cur- rency in Hongkong to convert, while permitting the perpetrators to specu- late on the money market here.
On last February 10 a false report credited to the Associated Press wns put out on the fixing of the Chinese money rate in relation to the United States dollar.

The two factors, are inter-linked, and their impact upon the Labour Government's plans for socialisation of industry is causing the British Cabinet the greatest concern.
