Canton, July 12. Quiet was broken again today when an air raid alarm sounded at 9 a.m., followed by a second alarm at 10:30 a.m.
After spending an hour ralding Canton, the Japanese planes left at 11.25 a..
I
The Wongsha area. scene of the previous disastrous bombings, suffered more than ever, but it is believed that casualties are not so heavy, due to the fact that most residents have been evacuated.'
About 10 bombs were dropped La and near Wongsha. Many of them fell into the river, overturning and smashing hundreds of junks and sampana.
TREMENDOUS HAVOC
Twenty bombs were dropped on Wongsha Station, creating tre- mendous havoc on the already ruined railway terminus.
The Cantür-Hankow Railway Three terminus also suffered. locomotives were badly damaged. at the terminus, and large sections of the track" were torn up.
A passenger train at the station.. waiting to depart for Hankow, narrowly escaped destruction. The locomotive of the train was dam- aged. Passengers took refuge in dugouts.

EXCHANGE DIFFICULTY
Serious Decline Revealed
Tokyo, July 12, One of the greatest difficulties with which Japan has at present to contend was discussed yesterday' by the Japanese MinMier for Eco- Įnomics, Mr. Seilin Ikadá, at a con-'
ference of economic experts.
Mr. Ikeda stated that Japan's |exports in the Arst five months of this year had dealined by 35 per cent, in comparison with the amount in the corresponding period last year."
The decline in the foreign ex- change proceeds obtained from exports is serious as the money is needed urgently by Japan for fin- ancing the imports of raw mater- lala for conducting the war.
The Minister for Economics. stated that in estimating the value of exports to the countries of the Yen bloc-the Kwantung territory, | Manchukuo; and parts of North and Central China dominated by the Japanese-the value of Japan- | ese exports in the period: named |amounted to only 583 million Yen.
FOUR REASONS The decline, was attributed by Mr. Ikeda, firstly, to the difficulty of Japanese export industries in obtaining enough" raw materials: secondly, to high prices; thirdly, to the economic depression in coun-
tries to which Japan is accustomed
to export, and fourthly, to anti- Japanese sentiment in foreign countries.
Mr. Ikeda promised to find ways and means of facilitating the im- port of raw materials required by the Japanese export industries.- (Transocean).
