Virtual Deadlock Over U S Mail Censorship
A developing clash between the United States and Britain over censorship of American mails grows. British marines seized Transatlantic airmail at Bermuda on Jan 18 after a Pan American Airways plane refused to surrender mail, prompting warnings of further action. Canadian censors reportedly may inspect some U S rail mail, while the Manhattan liner faced delays at Gibraltar. The dispute centers on belligerent rights to seize contraband from U S mails and the extent of censorship.
