Kwong Chow Wan, To-day. Chinese troops

reported concentrating in areas to the north and north-east of Nanning, but the object of this massing is un- ascertainable.

Some quarters suggest that the Chinese are

planning to strike back by encircling the whole re- glon with crack troops.

Japanese troops are now halted outside Nanning while others "are" endeavouring to rid the city of snipers.

Japanese planes were this morning bombing the Chinese positions north of the "occupied" city-Our Own Correspondent.

Shanghai, To-day.

In view of recent reports that the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Chinese Government has ordered that the importation of manufactured goods produced in Shanghai be banned in Chinese- controlled areas, local Chinese manufacturers will shortly wire the Government seeking inform- ation whether "Shanghai" includes the International Settlement and the French Concession, says the "Shun Pao."

Great hardship would be caus- ed to Chinese industries, it is pointed out, if the Government ban on goods produced in Shang- hai were applied to all Chinese goods produced in the foreign municipal areas. Reuter.

Tokyo, To-day. The conclusion of a Non- Aggression Pact with the Soviet Union is advocated by the "Hochi Shimbun," which states that the signing of the pact will enable the Soviet Union to extend un- stinted assistance to Germany by removing all causes of worry to the Soviet in the Far East.

The paper adds:-

"The Soviet Union will gain freedom of action against Bri- tain only when she concludes 2 Non-Aggression Pact and econo- mic agreement with Japan." Reuter.

Moscow, To-day.

"A wave of fury and Indigna. tion has swept Leningrad!" says the Moscow radio.

It adds that spontaneous meat- ings have been held in protest

against what it describes as "the impertinent provocation

nish war-mongers."

Macao, To-day. Tension reigns in the Chung Shan District following the arrival of several Japanese gunboats, armed trawlers and motor-boats off Tilshek, west of Shek-ki yes- terday. Our Own Correspondent.
