HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF

This is a phase of the censorship and mail seizure situation that has been overlooked by US. critles of "British high-handedness."

The spy plot incident is only history repeating itself.

It is gathered that, with regard to the silver question, the arrangement provides that the money shall be de- posited in a bank in the Settlement in account under the signature of the British and Japanese Consul-General.

Ten per cent., approximately £10,000, will be allocated to famine and flood relief.
