Censorship of international
Mail.

Washington.-Censorship of lnterna-
tional mail has been inaugurated pur.
suant to section 3 of the Trading With
the Enemy Act. The censorship will
be conducted at New York, the Canal
Zone, Porto Rico, and such other
places as may be deemed necessary,
and with as little interference with
legitimate correspondence as is com
patible with such examination of the
mails as Is considered necessary In the
public interest. A censor's label on
the envelope does not imply that the
writer or the addressee of the letter
Is under suspicion, but only that It's
examination Is thought to be neces-
sary In safeguarding the Governments
interests.
