The action was described as a

The dynamiting was done shortly
after the Japanese army in South
China announced japanese forces
had reached bungalow in Kwangsi

Indo-China border.
At the same time the Chinese re-
ported that 80 per cent of the Chi

Former President Herbert Hoover
last night demanded the abolish

as isolation.

said, demands that all possible as
sistance be given the Allies

SEE AVENUE THROUGH SPAIN
The reasoning is this: The Nazis
have succeeded in subduing France,
and it's a cinch the Spanish may
give them free passage across Spain
to attack Gibraltar. With that easy
avenue, and the privilege of es-
tablishing air bases within few
minutes OF the Rock, Gibraltar
would have to withstand a siege
the like of which it never has seen
in all its 1000 years of war-torn
history.
