These three articles were stopped as both the senders and addressess were on the Statutory List mi the articles in
question were conveyed in a British ship the S. 8. Yuen Sang"
2.
They were forwarded on the dates given above
to their respective destinations in accordance with a local
arrangement made to prevent undue accumulations of Registered
Articles (on which compensation is payable) in the General
Post Office here. This prosedure is followed in all onses
where the information contained is practically useless after
the lapse of 3 months.
Japanese mails are regularly submitted to
omsorship as the Japanese Postal Aaministration until recent-
-ly carried enemy mail matter freely. In view of the recent institution of a postai censorship is Japan it may be possible to drop the censering of Japmese maile in time. No,
difference is noticeable at present in the Japanese mailo.
I would point out that the reasons for stop- -ping any correspondence whatsoever are given in the weekly
reports furnished to the Chief Postal Censer in London to
vnum Brigadier-General Cockerill apparently never referred.
