JAP PLANES, OBLIVIOUS TO
HORRIFIED PROTESTS, STILL
BOMBING HELPLESS CANTON

ignoring British and American
protests against the bombing OF
open cities with a high toll in ci-
william casualties, japanese black
winged bombers twice raided the
city Sunday, causing an estimated
1000 deaths and wounding an
equal number.
Hundreds of persons were
buried in the shambles of Can
toms thickly populated Wongshan
Station area, while scores died
from wounds, as the city's over
worked relief facilities struggled
to rescue and care for the injured.
I The densely packed Wongshan
Station area was literally piled
with broken bodies Of the dead
and dying. Crews searching the
ruins after each raid were unable
to keep up with the Instruction,
and many persons dragged from
the demolished buildings bled to
death on the streets before first
aid could be administered.

American officials here We're IN

Hitler and Mussolini had agreed
to pursue joint policy in Far
Eastern affairs.
1t was pointed out that Japan
will need large credit for exploit

provinces which she already NOM
inally had conquered and that
Germany, which is a big importer
of North Asian products-particu-
larly soy beans from Manchukuo

them on a barter basis, trading

equipment and other manufac-

some were returning to Germany

Casualties Reach Calamity
Proportions; French
Marines Land

CANTON, China, June 6. (UPl
Japanese war planes, oblivious to
Mortified foreign protests, today
rained bombs on Canton for hours,
adding many hundreds to the cas-
ualty list which already reached
calamity proportions and was
gravely endangering foreign lives.
French marines landed and oe-
cupied the French-owned Doumef
hospital on the waterfront after
a Japanese bomb made a direct
hit on the building.
A bomb struck 800 wards from
the Y. NJ. C. A. which was con-
verified into an emergency hos
pital. The floor of this building
was slippery with the blood OF
victims.
Men, women and children, pack
ed in the streets, stood transtixed
with horror as japanese planes
power-dived to within 800 feet Of
the rooftops, dropping bombs
throughout the city.
After three hours Of continuous
bombing it was estimated that the
casualties had reached 1000 and
it was feared many more would
