soldiers of fortune. Few MeXicans are in

RELATIONS With
U.S.N0T imp aired
BY CENSORSHIP

London, July 2O.-Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of war trade, declared in the
House of Commons today that he did not
think there was any reason to suppose
the censorship now exercised regarding
press messages to the United States was
at all likely to interfere with the contin-
uation of the friendly relations of the two
countries.
Lord Robert made this statement in re-
ply to a question by Arthur Lynch, mem
ber for Westclare. who asked the war
trade minister whether. ir view of the
importance of establishing between this
country and the United States complete
confidence and cordial relations, he would
advise the abolition or modification of the
present censorship of news"
The censorship, added Lord Roberts IN
replying to the member, was established
for military reasons and its abolition or
modification could not be advocated upon
non-military grounds.
