Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright TOKIO. December 30. (Received Jam 1, at 5.5 p.m.) The Privy Council's motion of censure on the Kato Cabinet was an expression of the Council's dissatisfaction with the Cabinet’s attitude towards Chinese affairs and was attached to a motion recommending the carrying out of the ChiuoMapaueso postal agreement in the spirit of tho Washington agreement. The motion in ordinary circumstances would mean tho resignation of the Cabinet, but in view of the disturbed conditions in China and the imminence of the New Year holidays Cabinet may decide to present to the Crown Prince a counter-motion, and to await his decision before taking action. Cabinet holds the view that the Privy Council, being only an advisory body, has no power to interfere with Cabinet’s administration. —A. and N.Z. Cable. PEKING, December 30. (Received Jan. 1, at 5.5 p.m.) The new Cabinet, which only took office last week, has resigned, despite the Senate’s note of approval.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
