HONG KONG STOPS
 JAPAN ADVANCE
Artillery Batteries Opened Up on Invaders; Drove
 Them Away

Hong Kong, Dec. e.-(Upl-A Brttish cofflSrunlque tonight report ed that Hong Kong's artillery bat tories opened lip on Japanese at- tackers and halted their advance.
 Tie communique did not specify the exact area of the Japanese land operations but 1t was presumed they are on the mainland opposite this island.
 One JapaneBe plane was crippled by Hong Kons'B air defenSes in AEl air attack, the cognnunique said, and no serious damage wnS cRuSed by enemy bombing.
 Canadian troops which form the backhon of the Hong Kong defenSo corps were reported "il fine fcttle.'
 The Chinese populace was said of- ficially to be showing admirable ImperturabiiIty" in the face of Jap- anese air attack but an appeal was Issued for better observance of air precautions.
 British forces and Japanese pa- trolS were said to be active along the roads on the mainland as the garrison awaited development Of . full scale Japanese assault.
 Patrol Activity
 Chief patrol activity centered iii the neighborhood Of Taipo and along the Castle Peak road.
 (T'his indicated that the Impers ial garrison, including Canadian troops, had withdrawn in aecords ance with It's long. planned defense tactics some distance within the limits of the mainland part Of Hong Kong.
 (TaIpo, on the Canton railroad, IS about seven miles inside the border and Castle Peak is on the southwest mainland corner, indicat- ing that Japanese troops might have effected 6 landing from the Pearl river.)
 There was Q quiet night here, and 1t was said officially that there had been no Japanese air raids, but there was an air raid alert thb morning.

Thon Geon and Japanese Peruons Money Buy

something over which to ponder.
 American Investments in Peru aggregate from 92O0, ,000,000 to 9300,- 0O0,O00 with International Tele- phone and Telegraph, operating the phones and the far-flung Pan- American and Grace Line inter- ests in shipping and airline trans port. Before the Nazi air line from Bolivia was finally put out of bust ness, it led precarious existence. As it became more and more diff. cult to obtain gas, because of re- strictions, the German line ern- ployes resorted to hustling about from one automobile gas station to another and collecting in gallon cans c sufficient supply to put Q plane in the air.
 PROPAGANDfsTS HARP
 ON ANTI-AAGERKCAN THEME
 German propaganda bears down upon its story Of the Jack of sine cere interest in Peru on the part of the United Etates, gympathizes with President Manuel Prado in the Ecuadorian affair, and condemns the seizure of the le Peruvian plants In America.
 It is active, of course, in lending c helping hand in ati blacklist protests and generally keeps the home fires burning as brightly as possible. After several German coIn- mercial planes roared over Lima some time back, flying the Swastika, law was enacted prohibiting the display of any foreign flag except upon the occasion Of the country's national holiday. M
 There was no further display of Swastikas until last May 1 = the Nazi holiday = when they suddenly broke out all over town, obviously on order.
 This provided the American and British Embassies with c veritable field day. Men were sent scam- pering up one street and down the other, noting addresses where the SwaStika flew. Some may have been missed because they were in apartment houses, but quite c mum Der of new names were rounded up as candidates for the blacklist.

United States wasn't particularly pleased with this in the way of supplies going to Japan, but the Peruvians point out that great part of this Japanese money was spent by them with the United States for American products.
 And they didn't like 1t when pressure was brought upon Peru to cease fueling Japanese ships, and thus curtail petroleum product sales, at a time when there were no restrictions against furnishing the Japanese with American gas and oil.
 One of the big problems In Peru, as some Americans here see 1t, Is the problem of price If substan- tial American trade Is to be estab- lished and maintained to take the place of the German and Jap- anese made products which tn he Peruvians will not be able to ob- tain.
 The quality of the American products Is unquestionably higher than the Jap and German products
