Conditions Japanese Troops Reach Occupied Dongson, Are Expected To Drawn "Advance To Hanoi When
Mr. Wickham Steed, English author and journalist, drew a terrible picture of conditions prevailing in "German occupied Poland and Belgium when he broadcast from Daventry last night.
"The people under the Nazi jack-boot see their hour of liberation dawning," said Mr. Steed, "and I should not like to be one of those Germans when that dawn comes. In 1918 we allowed all of them to go home. This time not one of them shall linger in the countries they have at present taken. There is plenty of room for all of them in the canals."

CANTON, Oct 3 (Reuter)-Japanese troops which landed in Hai- phong have reached Dongson, a Japanese military spokesman stated yesterday afternoon.
