PILLAR-BOX DISPUTE

The Hague, May 17.

The Permanent Court of International Justice, to which the Council of the League of Nations referred the question of Polish letter-boxes and postmen in Danzig—a matter occasioned a good deal of trouble with the German citizens of that city—has given its ruling. The Court was of opinion that no ruling should be made on the point disputed by the Danzig High Commissioner, but decided that the Polish Postal Service of the port }was entitled to instal letter-boxes outside its premises, though the service was not reserved for Polish officials and authorities, but for public use.—Reuter.
