She'll Shore Posts
Near Macao
Land, SEQ, Air Attacks
Luunch New Drive
In South China
BY the Associated Press.

HONG KONG, March 5.-Japa-
nese warships shelled shoreline posi-
tions 20 miles north Of Portuguese
Macao throughout the morning and
then landed a force for another
penetration of South China-this
one just across the mouth of the
Pearl River from Hong Kong, Brit
ish crown colony.
At the same time, Japanese war
planes swooped in to break up any
attempt by Chinese forces to con-
centrate for reinforcement of their
positions above Macao and about so
miles south of Canton.
Inhabitants of Chinese villages
in the scope of the Japanese opera
tions f1ocked into Macao.
The combined land, sea and air
attack launched today is the first
serious Japanese action in the lower
Pearl River delta area since last
falls expedition which captured
ChungShan.
After a two-day occupation of
Chungshan the Japanese Withdrew,
declaring that they would return if
Chungshan again became center
for anti-Japanese activity and if
the district continued to provide a
channel for the movement of
Chinese supplies from the Portuguese
colony of Macao into Southern
Kwangtung Province, south of Can
ton, into which the Japanese have
not succeeded in penetrating.
Shortly after the Japanese with
drawal last October Kwangtung pro-
vincial forces and guerrilla units re-
turned to Chungshan, hampering
Japanese control Of the Rearl River,
lifeline from the sea to Canton, 80
miles inland, Japan's military and
political headquarters in South
China.

Latin American Pleas
For Export-|mport
Credits Are Due Soon
Visitors From South
May Find Much Less
Money Than Expected
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Reliable reports have reached the
administration that a number of
Latin-American visitors may be ex-
pected soon to seek part of the
$lOO,OOOOOO credits authorized for
the Export Import Bank.
The first visitor probably will be
the President-elect of Costa Rica,
Senor Rafael Calderon Guardia.
Since Costa Rica occupies a strate-
gic position for the defense of the
Panama Canal, she stands a good
chance of getting a portion of the
credits.
A representative of Chile may
come to the United States to take
up $5,0O0,000 credit already allo-
Gated to his country but not actually
handed over. He will submit a list
of the projects for which the credit
is to be expended.
Colombia is reported seeking from
s6,O0O,00O to $8,O00.000 for rail-
road and public road developments.
Panama Seeks Road Funds.
Panama wants payment OF credit
granted to construct transisthmian
highway.
Brazil is reported considering ask
ing for payment of credits granted
her last year during the visit of
OsWaldo Aranha, Brazilian foreign
minister.
All indications point to the proba-
bility that the Latin American rep
resentatives will find much less
money available than might have
been expected. Countries in other
parts of the world will have got in
ahead of them.
Finland, it is believed will receive
S20,000,000 of the credit; China,
100000 900: Norway, $4,000, 900, and
Sweden. s15,00O,0O0.
That will leave only $35, 900 900 of
the additional 100000, 900 voted by
Congress last week.
Credits Granted to Three.
Last year credits were granted by
the Export-Import Bank to Para
quay, Brazil and Nicaragua. Uru-
quay was granted a credit but did
not take it up. About 100000 was
allocated to Argentina for the pur-
chase of railroad equipment.
Latin American nations wishing
to obtain credits submit descrip-
ton of the projects contemplated
and bank officials try IA determine
whether they will be self sustaining
either in the sense of producing
revenue or of adding to the wealth
of the borrowing country.
They figure that in this way the
credits are more likely to be devoted
to useful purposes which will enable
the borrowing nation to repay them
and thus avoid default. Most Latin
American nations are in default on
their dollar bonds taken by private
investors in the United States.
Thomas Suggests "World Bank"
Meanwhile, Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Of Oklahoma, suggested
yesterday that the Export Import
Bank be authorized to lend or sell
gold to foreign countries.
Senator Thomas said the institu-
ton might well become world
bank" accepting deposits and per-
forming other services for foreign
nations.

LONDON, March 5.-With the
censored press predicting second
cabinet shake-up since the wars
start, growing British concern over
the supply ministrys conduct of its
s64 ,000, ,0O0-a-week purchases was
reflected today in the assembly of
the war Office secret court.
While London papers generally
agreed that Supply Minister Leslie
Burgin was one Of three cabinet
members who would be dropped bv
Prime Minister Chamberlain. the
court met to question an unnamed
war office colonel reported to have
recommended discharged convict
to the supply ONCE as a contrac-
tors agent.
Investigation Completed.
There were reports Scotland Yard
had completed an investigation of
the entire wartime contracting sys-
tenn. Other developments included
the dismissal of three supply min
istry employees.
The two cabinet members mem
toned with Mr.. Burgin as being
slated for dismissal are Sir King
sley Wood, air minister, and Lord

On January Mr.. Chamberlain
displaced Leslie Hore Belisffa as war

sions on the claim that they exer-
else special influence over minis

The News Chronicle commented
today that "the cabinet shares the
general disquiet concerning supply
contracts. Highly placed officials at
the war office have been called In
to give evidence"
The announcement of the dis
missal OF three supply ministry en-
ployes was seen as the first result
OF the pubhc's growing interest in
purchase of war supplies. The three

Towns West of ViipuH
Taken, Reds Report

MOSCOW, March 5 (Py.-The Red
Army furthered it's encircling move
about Viipuri, the Soviet command
reported today, by seizing towns on
the western mainland and islands
south of that ruined, but Stub
bornly defended, Finnish city.
(These positions would permit
attacks from four directions, but
failure of the Russians to an
nounce complete encirclement in
dicated gaps may remain in their
lines.
CThe Russians previously had
announced occupation of some
Vlipuri suburbs with drives con-
verging from the north, east and
south)
A communique today reported
capture of the fortress of Trongsund
and the town of Uuraas on Uuraan-
saari, an island 6 miles south of
Viipuri; occupation of Teparinsaari,
another island, and the towns of
Hejnlahti, Muhalahti and Vilajoki,
on the Bay of Viipuri about IS miles
west of Viipuri.
In the Trongsund fortress, Soviet
troops captured three batteries of
naval long-range guns and a great
number of machine guns, rifles,
munitions and cartridges" the COM
munique said.
"On other sectors of the front
there was nothing of Importance
Meanwhile, Russians in Moscow
discussed unconfirmed reports that
the Red Army was trucking thou
sands of log cabins into occupied
Finnish territory to replace build

Apparently in the expectation that
hostilities will end before long, the
cabins are intended for Firms ex-
pected to return, or for Soviet Kare-
lian immigrants, informants said.

Soviet Troops Fail
To Capture viipuri
In An-Day Fight
Reds Pressing Efforts
To Encirc!e Doomed
Finnish City
~ the Associated Press.

HELSINKI. March 5.-The Fin
nish defenders of Viipuri, after bat
Ting all day yesterday with Rus
slams attacking across the islands OF
the Bay Of Viipuri, still were locked
IN combat in this strategic area to-
day, the Finnish high command an
nounced in its daily comunique.
The invading Russians were at
tempting to encircle the city, long
deserted by civilians and considered
virtually lost even by the Firms
themselves.
In addition to attacking the is
lands in the bay, the Reds attacked
the northwest shore of the bay, from
where they presumably could drive
overland against Viipuri from the
rear.
"On the isthmus enemy attacks
against the islands in the Bay of
Viipuri and the northwest shore of
the bay continued all day March
T." said the communique. Fight
Ing continues on the capes at the
mouth of the bay; at all other points
attacks were repulSed."
Troops Not Yet in City.
Although fighting was heavy on
the very outskirts of Viipuri, Fin
nish sources maintained that Soviet
troops had not yet entered the city
proper.
The Firms dropped bombs on and
opened machine-gun fire against
enemy columns and troops on the
ice of the Gulf of Finland" said the
communique.
The Russians attacked between
the Bay of Viipuri and the Vuoksi
River on the Isthmus of Karelia and
were beaten back, although fighting
continued all day. Artillery activ-
ity was reported from the eastern
end of the Mannerheim Line.
The Firms reported continuing
fighting at Kuhmo, on the eastern
side of Finland's narrow waist"
with the defenders capturing sew
eral enemy strong points" The
Russians were said to have lost
more than 500 killed.
Paper FOresees Fall.
The newspaper Helsingin Sano-
mat. owned by former Foreign Min
lister Elias Erkko, admitted the pos
sibility Viipuri might be lost, but
added that it is IAN outpost which
has never been surrendered without
q fight
THE Russian forces on the 18TH
mus have advanced to the outskirts
OF Viipuri," said an editorial in the
newspaper.
'It is their Cthe Russians) only
significant achievement after more
than three months of warfare"
the paper said. That this would
happen sooner or later was clear to
everybody, even from the beginning
OF the war.
THE surprise to ourselves as well
as to the enemy is only in the fact
that the invader has not got there
earlier"
Even if Viipuri is lost, however,,
the paper added, "our fate is not
sealed. We have defended our land
even when all of KareIa was in
Moscow's grip"

DOROTHY DIX.
Evening star., 1940-07-05

A worried father whose pretty and
talented young daughter is infat-
uated with a highly undesirable
youth, who drinks and consorts with
wild women and has no means of
livelihood, wants to know how he
can break off the affair and save
the girl from wrecking her life by
making a marriage that would be
bound to end in disaster. Well, rea-
soning with a girl in love is one of
the most hopeless tasks on earth,
because, for the time being, she has
taken leave of her senses; because
she is blind to all she does not wish
to see in the man and deaf to ev-
erything she does not desire to hear
about him. She is in state of mind
in which she regards every criti-
cism of the boy friend as a base
calumny, and when she believes
that the reason he drinks and phil
anders is because he is driven to it
by doubt of her love 1t is a delicate
situation that needs to be handled
with the utmost diplomacy, yet par
ents in their wrath and despair gen.
orally go at it roughshod and heavy
handed, with the result that they
precipitate the marriage that they
are trying to prevent.
The first suggestion, then, that
would make to the father who is
trying to keep his daughter from
making fool match is to put honey
on his lips and guile in his actions.
Quit opposing her.
Don't forbid her to marry the lad
unless you want her to elope with
him the next night just to show that
she is independent.
/ Don't shut the door in Romeo's S
face and refuse to let him come to
the house. That will only make her
meet him in hole-and-corne places
and give the affair a romantic, cruel
parent-persecution complex that
will make it doubly alluring.
And good strategic move is to
have the undesirable lad brought in
contrast with people who are better
bred, better educated, who have bet
ter manners, who are more sophis-
tlcated than he is. Many a girls
passion has simply curled up and
died a natural death when she first
heard her hearts idol gargle his
