本日の海外ニューズ。
〈香港〉
どこが「一国二制度」なんだ？
〈ロシア〉
第2次大戦後、一方的に「日本円」が吸い取られるばかり。
日露戦争の恨み骨髄といった感じか。
・追記（4日）。
昨今の情勢では、「日本円」より「中国元」の方が旨味があるだろう。
〈英国〉
「Suppose I went among some remote people who had never even heard of England. Suppose I told them that there is a man in my country who won't ask a question of life and death, until he has put an erection made of horse-hair on the top of his head, with little tails behind, and grey corkscrew curls at the side, like an Early Victorian old woman. They would think he must be rather eccentric; but he isn't at all eccentric, he's only conventional. They would think so, because they don't know anything about English barristers; because they don't know what a barrister is.」
G. K. Chesterton,「The Mirror of the Magistrate」（『The Secret of Father Brown』所収）より。
