British Reprisal Raids On Civilians Would Be Mistake

COMPARISON BETWEEN the purpose of the

R.A.F. and Nazi night bombing raids was made in a

speech yesterday afternoon by the Air Minister, Sir GRIM MOOD

Archibald Sinclair, who said German bombers flew at about 20,000 feet carelessly unloading their bombs on the dark mass of London beneath while bombers of the R.A.F. concentrated on specific military tar- gets and to ensure hitting them came down to a low level as low as 50 feet over one very important target.

BULGARIAN CLAIMS

ON GREECE FORESEEN

(SPECIAL TO “CHINA MAIL").

GENERAL BELIEF expressed in Sofia yes- terday was that Bulgaria will present claims to Greece for access to the Aegean Sea, al- though for the time being the problem is not considered acute.

It is recalled that since her rapproche- ment with Yugoslavia, her closest neighbour from the racial and language viewpoint, Bul- garia has implicity renounced her form- er claims, hoping thereby to tighten her bonds of friendship with Yugoslavia and thus break up her isolation in the Balkans.
