Canton, June 8.

Another fierce air raid is in progress at Canton. At 10.30 a.m. the planes came over without warning, as all sirens were out of action due to the destruction of the power plant last night.

It was at first rumoured that 90 planes were on their way and the city was panic-stricken, but only 20 eventually arrived.

Their concentrated bombing was the heaviest yot experienced in a short space of time. They loosed 60

bombs on the central areas.

CABINET FINALLY PREPARES TO ACT IN SPANISH ZONE

Heavy Losses Suffered In Deliberate Attacks; Lloyd George Critical

London, June 7.

It is authoritatively learned that Great Britain has at last decided on a strong line of action regarding the bombing by Insurgent aircraft of British ships.

General Franco's reply to British protests, which was received earlier this week, is understood to be unsatisfactory.

Some quarters suggest, however, that Britain's most extreme move will be to recall the British Agent from Insurgent Spain.

If bombings continue, it is expected that stern action will be decided upon at a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
