MEASURES FOR DEFENCE OF BURMA OUTLINED
Shore Batteries Installed
Rangoon, August" 29.
Measures for the defence of Burma, were outlined by the Governor of Burma, Sir Archibald Cochrane, at a joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate today. The Governor said that the problem was simplified by the knowledge that the powerful fighting forces of the Empire would be used for Burma's defence against any hostlle attack.
Owing to the friendly relations between the British Government and the countries adjacent to Burma's land frontier it was un- necessary to increase the strength of the army to defend it.
Against the risk of bombardment from any ship risking entry into the river, thore batteries will be installed immediately. A naval volunteer force will also be raised.
A battery of anti-aircraft guns will also be installed and auxiliary units raised and equipped as soon as necessary aircraft was available.

SHANGHAI SETTLEMENT
British Troops Given Orders
Shanghai," August 29...
Considerable speculation has been caused in Shanghai by the fact that last night and this morning Japanese posts west of Shanghai, usually stationed beyond the perimeter, are no longer in evidence.
While no Japanese statement is available, it is believed that this is the first putting toto effect of the new policy of recalling all out- posts situated in the countryside beyond Shanghai in order to avold exposure of troops to constant guerilla raids, as happened recently. and to concentrate on defending Shanghai alone.
