GREAT BRITAIN READY TO EXPLAIN CENSORSHIP. Note Handed to American Ambassador Replying to Complaints. London. July 24, 1.42 am.—The for- eign office has published the text of the note handed to the American am- bassador replving to certain American complaints against the British censor- ship of malls. The reply is confined to the few specific allegations made in the recent American note. It is stated that the formal answer to the general agruments advanced by the Washington government is still under consideration by the allied govern- ments and will receive reply in due course. The two principal cases referred to in the present memorandum are those of the MacNiff Horticultural compans of New York and the Standard Under- sround Cable company of Pittsburgh. The MacNiff company complained of the loss of perishable goods owing to the detention by the censor of ship- pine documents relating thereto. The British government states that as soon as the matter was brought to its attention it arranged to have a special mail bag for shipping pa- pers which would he censored immedi- ately so that no delay would occur.
