The second occasion within a fortnight on which an official has found it necessary to apologise to Japan for a slight to the Emperor, occurred today .The Mayor, Mr Charles Smith, in a letter to the local Japanese Consul, expressed regret because members of the Community Club, in a masquerade, depicted the Emperor pulling a jinrickshaw carrying the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haille Selassie.
