Missiles Fall At Random
Another day of horror was experienced by the people of Canton on Saturday when the Japan- exe air force carried out another murderons rald on the city, the bombs from their planes, dropped at random, claiming over 1000 lives, most of them women and children, in addition to wounding
many more.
The scenes where the bombs fell beggar description and an official estimate places the casualty list. since the first raid on May 28, at over 5000 dead. Despite this, & spokesman in Tokyo a few days ago made the brazen autourcement that the Japanese air force were not in the habit of bombing non-military objectives and open cities!
It is only to be expected that following such a visitation certain sections of the community are thrown into panic but the general morale of the people of Canton remains unshattered, and a spe- clal word of praise must be extended to the Red Cross workers who defy death in their efforts
to attend to the wounded.
