Canton, To-day.
It is learned that a veritable armada of Japanese planes, esti- mated at 33, raided the south section of the Canton-Hankow Railway yesterday, damaging. railway stations and tracks, and causing loss of life among the villagers. At least 50 casualties, are reported.
Lok-
The section south of chong suffered most severely and this morning the railway service was suspended.-Reuter.

Hankow, To-day. Between five and six thou- sand Japanese troops were landed at noon yesterday in the vicinity of Siangkou. The landing was made under cover of heavy aerial and naval bombardment with no less than twenty warships participating.
The action has caused consi- derable anxiety in Hankow as the Japanese are expected to launch a drive along the south bank overland on the boom at Matang, which is immediately west of Tunglin, outflanking the shore batteries protecting the boom.-Reuter.
Tokyo, To-day. General Ugaki, who on May
5 became Foreign Minister, yesterday took over the duties of the Overseas Minister, fol- lowing the resignation of the former Minister, Ohtani, who is to become the President of the semi-official North China Development Company. Mr. Oh- tani's resignation was accept- ed by the Emperor yesterday.
Having served as Governor of Korea, General Ugaki is re- garded as being fitted for the dual post-Reuter.

Wahington, To-day: President's Roosevelt, in fireside chat to the nation, made an uncompromising defence of every aspect of the New Deal programine, but admitted that the Government, as well as business and labour, had made mistakes which had resulted in the present depression.
The President called for gréa- ter co-operation in the future and said that there should be a united stand of capital and labour to resist wage cuts which would further reduce purchas~ ing power.
He also declared the interna- tional situation "definitely dis turbing," necessitating exten- sive re-armament.-Reuter.
