BANNED FROM JAPAN.

Correspondent of English Paper Press Association—Copyright. London, March 13. Mr. Morgan Young, for 16 years the Manchester Guardian’s correspondent at Tokio, has been excluded from Japan because of articles "not to the taste of the authorities.” Mr Young in an article in the Manchester Guardian said: “The Government exercise a formidable censorship for the suppression of news and frequently enforces prohibitions on hundreds of subjects. The situation is much worse since the Manchurian affair, while even in Parliament only the fragments of freedom of speech are preserved.”
