Manchester Uncowed By
Blitz
The
In spite of a "real bashing" sustained through heavy Ger- nan air raids on the city, Manchester is uncowed and defiant. A letter received by a leading British trading house in Hongkong from a Manchester firm states that, although the raids have al- tered the face and contour of the old city, the only altera- tion to its spirit is to make it even more determined, than' ever to make an end of Hitler and all that he stands for.
The following excerpts from the letter, which we are pri- vileged to publish,, may prove to be of some interest to local commercial circles who have relations with Manchester firms and to the public gener- ally. They show the rc- markable spirit of the British people in a time of difficulty aud danger, and also reveal how trade, the life-blood of the nation, is being carried
on.
Keep Flag Flying "Speaking from a purely commercial angle," says the letter, "we are, under obvious- ly difficult and awkward eir- cumstances, doing our best to carry on and keep the lag not flying, and ashamed of our efforts in this -direction-in-fact-we-are rather proud of ourselves, but

Thanks To Navy "Thanks to the Navy, we are getting good supplies of cotton and, whilst it is, no secret that bits and pieces of these have been destroyed by enemy action, there has been no shortage. At the same time, however, a terrific strain has been placed on Lanenshire machinery to fulfil those vast supplies of Home and Colonial Government require- ments which must necessarily have priority even over ex- port; and, whilst export comes n good second, manufacturers have in many cases found it dimcult to keep up to time. with some of our orders, but they have really made some noble efforts and, taking it all In all, they have, under ex- ceptionally difficult circum- stances, done extraordinarily well.

Real Blitz
"During the last few months we have had several visitations from our nocturnal enemy, but it was not until the two nights of Sunday and Munday, December 22 and 23, that we had what is now known as a rea
real "Blitz:"
Even to and those who had experience in the last war, this new kind of warfare has really to be seen in order to be believed, because it'defles de- cription, by any other than an artist.
Sehat damage was done, and
damage at that, cannot be denied: but, as usual, the brunt fell upon the civilian and commer- cial community, and it is indeed sad to see the wanton destruction of famous landmarks that have no bearing on the national war effort and which, under no stretch of the imagination, can be called miltary objectives.
"To those of you who know Manchester it really hurts to think of the Royal Exchange, Corn Ex- ante, Cathedral, Free Trade Hall change, (home, of the Holle Concerts); to name but a few of the bulldings, destroyed.
Considering the intensity and the ferocity of the attack, the damage, bad enough though it is, greatly less than might have 19 been expected; but, what really is important,-the-damago-to-tho-war- effort is practically nit, and as long ng this remains the case, we, of the civilian army, can and will take it.

Luftwaffe Trying To Fly Higher
By F. G. H. Salusbury
A STRUGGLE for height
will provide the greatest technical battle between the R.A.F. and the Luftwaffe in 1941.
The Germans are now devot- ing particular attention to fast, extremely high-flying bombers.
a
If they can produce machine which can, more or less, meet our fighters on level terins, the year will probably sce a revival-or an attempted revival of day bombing in force.
Chief Attack
It was during the Battle of Britain in the autumn that our fighters drove the German day bomber out of the sky, and compelled Goering to adopt night bombing as his chief attack.
The Germans have always preferred day bombing, if only for the reason that aircraft whose function is to clear the way for invasion must see what they are doing.
The extreme height aimed ut is not ideal for observation or accurate bombing, but it would largely obviate the danger of defending fighters descending on the bombers' backs.
New Tactics
Clouds of enemy fighters would' engage the defenders, while the bombers, flying at a tremendous height, would pro- ceed with the minimum of escort.
The new tactics will, pre-.
these sumably, develop on lines if we let them.
