Canton, Apr. 18.

About 250 persons were killed and over 300 were injured in the mass air raid yesterday by Japanese bombers, which dropped their missiles from high altitude to escape the intensive ground fire.

The victims in, Chung Wah North Road, Little North and Ho Yin Street in the north sections of the city presented a gruesome and horrible sight. None of the areas are located in or near military establishments. Volumes of smoke from bombed buildings were still seen this morning.

Dominant In Europe:

BERLIN.

ADOLF HITLER IS THE DOMINANT RULER IN EUROPE TO. DAY AND NEVER BEFORE IN THE FIVE YEARS OF THE NAZI RECIME HAS HE BEEN MORE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED AT HOME. Studying him as he made his speech to the German nation on February 19 in the Kroll Opera House one realized that here was the man, above all others in Europe, who by diplomacy and gestures of force had lifted himself into the saddle of Middle Europe.

Events confirmed that impression when I returned to the United Press office here and read that in London Foreign Minister Anthony Eden had resigned because of a British Cabinet split over policy toward Germany; that in Rome Mussolini, Hitler's ally, was silent, and that his silence apparently gave consent to what the Fuehrer had said; that the people in the streets of Vienna had respond- ed to the speech with loud "Heils" and that millions of ears were close to radios in the Balkans.
