GOVERNOR DEFIES AIR RAID WARNING

(From Our Staff Representative)

Canton, To-day.

His Excellency the Governor defied an air raid alarm this morning, though most people in Shameen thought it to be unwise in view that the city alarm had been sounded.

The first air raid warning was at 9.50 a.m. The second, indicating that the raiders were heading for Canton City, sounded at 10 a.m.

Almost-immediately after- wards, Sir Geoffry Northcote, who had arranged to pay an official call on the Governor of Kwangtung at 10:30 a.m. left Shameen in the company of Mr. A. P. Blunt, the Consul- General, and Captain Batty- Smith, A.D.C.

He is also to call on General Yu Han-mou at 11 a.m. and the Mayor afterwards.

At 10.20 a.m. no Japanese plane had yet put in an appear-

ance.
