By H.K. Censor Japan's

ACT QUESTIONED IN COMMONS

LONDON, Nov. 30.

MRS. J. L. ADAMSON asked Mr. Malcolm MacDonald in the House of Commons to-day whether his attention had been drawn to complaints from British residents in Hongkong against the action of the British censor there in withdrawing a previously-given licence for public exhibition of the feature film "Inside Nazi Germany," and whether this action was taken after the British censor had been in consultation with the German consulate.

SHANGHAI RESTRICTIONS

London, Nov. 30, The position with regard to the restriction which prevent Chinese workmen employed in British fac turles from going to work in a tram remains unsatisfactory, sald Mr. R. A. Butler, during question-time in the House of Commons to-day. Ho added that the British Government would continue to press the matter on the Japanese authorities.

Mr. A. C. Morcing asked if Mr. Butter was really satisfied with the | Government's altitude, and added that he had raised the point time and again, and that Mr. Butler had told him on July 25 that protesta were being mude to the Japanese nuthorities. He asked if there was nothing else the Government could do. Could Domething be done about the rights of British subjects? Mr. Butler repeated his regret that the position was unsatisfactory, and was then understood to say that em- ployees of a certain company were now allowed to travel in trams to a certnin

Mr. commented that that,

was almost adding insult to injury. It was not a question of travelling by trams, but a question about thu workers.

Sir Percy Harris asked if Mr. Butler was aware that many Industries were being ruined, which belonged to Bri- tiah owners, and would he not make even stronger representations than before.

Mr. Butler said that his reply to the supplementary questions in- dicated the importance attached to the matter.-Reuter,
