Former Pretoria consul details British censoring in South Africa
Washington February 15. The statement from former United States consul Macrum in Pretoria describes British censorship, interrupted mail and cables, and dual loyalties among Americans amid the Transvaal conflict. He claims no requests from the State Department were fulfilled and asserts attempts to discredit his actions. He reports delays in receiving government guidance, censorship at Durban, and altered communications before returning to Washington. He also recounts his push to inform the department of true conditions, facing later insinuations about his conduct. In domestic news, Trenton bakers face a 60 hour week limit and a pension bill for Walter English after a hand injury.
