SPEAKING AT A MANSION HOUSE LUNCHEON GIVEN IN HONOUR OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, MR. MACKENZIE KING, IN LONDON YESTERDAY. BOTH MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL, THE PRIME MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN, AND THE CANADIAN PREMIER, EMPHASISED THAT IT WOULD TAKE ALL THE STRENGTH THAT FREE PEOPLE COULD MUSTER TO EXTINGUISH THE WAR BE- FORE THE WHOLE WORLD WAS INFLAMED.

Mr. Mackenzie King, who paid a striking tribute to Mr. Churchill, said that Canada's entry into the war was the deliberate decision of a free people.

The mo- mentum of Canada's war production was increasing daily and she had become one of the arsenals of Democracy.

THE WAR EFFORT OF CANADA," said Mr. Churchill, HAS NOT HAPPILY, SO FAR, REQUIRED THE EFFUSION OF BLOOD UPON A LARGE SCALE BUT THAT EFFORT, IMMENSE IN SHIPS, AIRCRAFT AND AIR TRAINING, AND IN FINANCE AND FOOD, CONSTITUTES AN ELEMENT IN THE RESISTANCE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE, WITHOUT WHICH. THAT RESISTANCE COULD NOT BE SUCCESSFULLY MAINTAINED."

CHUNGKING, Sept. 4 (Reuter)-The Japanese withdrawal from FUKIEN PRO- VINCE was given prominence in this morning's newspapers which generally claim that the Japanese withdrawal was the result of recent Chinese offensive operations in the vicinity of FOOCHOW, capital of Fukien.

A Chinese field dispatch from the Fukien front claims that Chinese forces en- tered Foochow at 8.30 a.m. yesterday and are at present advancing on Mamoi, well- known Chinese naval base on the sea coast to the east of Foochow
