ITALY AND JAPAN
Clearing Up-A Few Points
(To The Editor, "The Hong Kong
Dally Press"). ·
Dear Str-News which has ap- peared lately in the Press and the prominent display given to them In local papers tend to give the Impression that Italy is definitely the helping Japan, in spite of official denials given by the Gov- ernment of Rome which are al- [« ways printed in very small types and hidden away in the midst of A multitude of other news.

called upon to resist the Japanese. Hence construction, öf defence works was constantly go- ing on.
"The Canton Gazecte" holds the opinion that "unaided, the United States will not be able to enforce her Monroe Doctrine. She who would leave others alone in their time of need would meet the same fate herself, and there is no reason why any of the Central or South American states should not be the property of one who needed it and had the power to take it."
The journal goes on with an ex- position of Britain's d.ficult role, but adds that the aid of France and Soviet Russia "is more power- ful than any combination that has been or can be made East or West. three can When necessary, the offer sufficient inducements for the United States to throw her weightance that seems to go with jolly on their side. Besides, isolationism is no longer possible or practical. Hungry eyes are cast on Central and South America."
DISCOURTESY TO COURT
Magistrate Refuses To Fix Date
Remarking on the discourtesy shown to the Court, Mr. K. M. A Barnett at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday refused to fix a date for the hearing of the case in which a flying student of the Hong Kong Flying School, Lee Kim-tal, is sum- moned for flying without a pilot's icence.

Inspector Portallion said the Assistant Attorney General, who is in charge of the case was unable to attend Court being en- zaged at the Junk Commission. "Apparently there was some agree- ment between the Assistant At- torney General and Mr. C. Y. Kwan, who was appearing for the defence and who
was also absent from Court yesterday morning.
The case was remanded formally
for a week.
IDZUMO'S HISTORY
OUTLINED
Japanese Flagship Launched In England In 1899
NO TRIBUTE TO JAPANESE Told by the interviewer of the Japanese tribute to the courage and gallantry of the Chinese sol- dier. the commander, short and stout, with the rubicund counter-
dispositions, apologetically replied that, much as he wished to re- turn the compliment he honestly had not seen anything calculated to rouse his enthusiasm.
Japanese attacks mainly de- pended on bombardments by their artillery and air force, the com- mander said. The marksmanship of Japanese gunners was poor, while bombers when over the
front lines flew at a high altitude In order to escape Chinese anti- aircraft gre. Consequently, when they did loose their missiles, they usually landed in open fields.
Big villages, where many houses grouped together, formed were easy targets for bombing planes. just as fleeing hordes of refugees were subjected to machine-gun fire. On the other hand, military emplacements had remained in-
tact.
AN "ELUSIVE" POST
the In support of his claims, commander cited the example of En elusive" machine-gun nest in Pootung. Hundreds of Japanese
shells
had been wasted in en- deavours to destroy it, but the lat- ter remained as elusive as ever.
Asked as to the outcome of this war, the commander expressed his condence in ultimate victory for China. The rank and knew that they were fighting for
