BIAS BAY PIRATES.

A BAFFLING PROBLEM FOR DIPLOMACY.

BANDITRY WITH IMPUNITY.

The Diplomatic Correspondent of the "Observer" wrote on September

The latest outrage committed by the Bias Bay pirates and the now attempt to crush such piracy by another punitive expedition by Bri- |tish battleships, recalls one of the most interesting and baffling of contemporary problems in diple macy. The British Government, 1928.which has had this problem under consideration for many months, is no nearer a solution than it ever

was.

On Thursday a Chinese steamier. flying the British flag, was board ed in the familiar way by pirates from Bias Bay: the captain was. shot and the ship looted. On the following day four British cruisers and an aircraft carrier took a land- ing party to the bay and were courteously met by an elder of one of the villages destined for repri- Bals, He pointed out some forty houses where, he said, the pirates lived.. The houses were destroyed, and another short chapter in this singular history was thus ended. Whether the houses pointed out by the elder were the most heavily in- sured, or housed the elder's own particular enemies or rivals, no one can tell, for the affairs of Blas Bay are a mystery.
