This is a very useful statement showing
fairly clearly the main sources of munitions sent to
China through Hong Kong. U.S.A. and Germany are the
largest sources of supply, U.S.A. supplying mainly
aircraft and Germany, ammunition. Britain supplies a considerable quantity of aircraft and ammunition,
and Sweden, Czecho-Slovakia and Russia supply
considerable quantities of the latter.
It is scarcely worth while copying the
summary for other Departments, and I suggest that, as before, the duplicate should be sent to the Foreign Office, and they should be asked to send it on to the
B. of T. in due course, as no additional copies are
available here.

The figures are a considerable drop on
those for the previous few weeks. Copies have been
distributed to Departments as usual, and the graph
has been brought up to date.

Various air-raids on the railway,
