London After A Month's Raids
BIZARRE HIGHWAY ROBBERY
THE NAZIS ARE naturally trying to cheer |****00 up their people with descriptions of a London in ruins, and the German radio yesterday quoted an un-named American journalist as having told a Lisbon newspaper that he was returning to the United States because condi- tions in London had become unbearable.
Actually, this paper interviewed five American journalists, including Vincent Sheean and H. R. Knickerbocker.
The paper says that all these.. Ave, though of different tempera ment and from different war- zones, agree on one fact-they believe fully in an English vic- tory.
All the journalists, especially those from London, say that Eng- land is proving she can resist all air attacks and enemy raiders are meeting with ever-increasing Bri- tish determination...
The English are doing excel- lently, the paper quotes the jour- nalists as saying, and may soon establish air superiority.

The Verdict
Yesterday, at the invitation of the Government, provincial jour nalists toured London, from the docklands to Buckingham Palace, and their verdict was unanimous about the damage "bad enough in places but on the whole not nearly as bad as we thought."
They agreed that London is keeping. business going as usual and is almost unaffected from the military point of view-Reuter.
BRITAIN'S BIG MEAT CONTRACT
Renewal of the contract between the Ministry of Food and the Australian authorities for the supply of meat to Britain is on the verge of signature, Reuter understands.
The present contract, which expired at the end of September, assumed a shipment of 260,000 tons of meat of, all kinds but owing to pressure. on British stor- age capacity and the presence of. what is believed to be than adequate supplies in Eng- land, rather less than that amount. was actually shipped.

DRIVEN OUT OF WARSAW
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")"
The most bizarre and gruesome high- way robbery in Shang- hai's history of crime occurred yesterday morning when a young Chinese woman strug- na through a flood- ed street in French- fown had a finger bit- ten off by robbers. Two men told her to hand over her valu- ables, including a gold ring. Refusing to.com- ply, the woman cried for help, and suddenly. one of the bandits grabbed her hand and bit off the finger wearing the ring. The robbers made their getaway. Havas.
