YESTERDAY HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR
YESTERDAY was the hottest day of the year. Maximum temperature recorded by the Rayal Observatory was 93 degrees, which was two degrees higher than the previous best for 1939.

DESPITE German denials, there is no doubt that Ger- many is selling munitions to China to fight Japan, Far Eastern end of the Totalitar- ian Axis, say O. D. Gallagher in the London "Daily Ex- press".
It appears that Germany has long-term pre-China-war con- tracts with the Chinese Govern- ment for the supply of certain armaments.
It would be difficult to break these contracts help Japan, Axis ally, because China may hold production guarantees. It is dimeult to ascer tain the exact position, which has not been generally known since last
summer.
This is inalde information given to me in the Berkeley Holel, W., hy a Europcon director of the Basle (Swlsa) frm of Maurice Augsbourg and Company, who have suppiled arms to China for twenty years. The capital is Swiss and 10 arc the directors,

'We Get Samothing"
In his hotel I asked him: " "Where floes China get her cartridges now for her guns?"
He replied: "Oh, Germany, Czeenu- Slovakla, Poland and Belglum. They get also cartridges for other types from other countries.
"Germany wants foreign money. China armaments have helped her to get sume, I find it difficult to get big supplies of armanients now from Germany."
"But do you get any frum many?"

Foochow Wenchow Wholly Blockaded
JAPANESE SOURCES claimed this morning that the blockades of Foochow and Wenchow have now been completed. Booms have been closed at the entrances to the Min and Ou Rivers, effectively blocking any shipping from entering.or leaving the ports.
H.M.S. Diana is the only warship now at Foochow. She The is anchored off Sharpe Peak, outside the Japanese boom. British steamer Sinklang is also standing by, ready to take off foreign nationals If evacuation is necessary.
No foreign warships are at Wenchow, where there are only elever British subjects.
The Japanese claim to have consolidated their holds on the entrances to the Min and Ou Rivers, by occupying all adjacent islands.
The situation otherwise is reported to be quiet.
The Japanese blockade of the foreign settlement at Kulangsu still continues. H.M.S. Delight has proceeded to Amoy and has relieved H.M.S. Tenedos, which is returning to Hongkong. The cruiser Dorsetshire has left for Weihaiwej. According to "Domel" this morning, the Japanese have closed the Cable and Wireless station at Chuenshek Island, at the entrance to the Min River.
The Japanese allege that the cable office was being used to communicate Japanese military secrets to the Chinese military!
An official of Cable and Wireless in Hongkong said: "We have no definite news. Our traffic is still going through Shanghai,"
