Paying a tribute to Viscount Holi- fax, in whose honour the dinner was held, Mr. Churchill stated: "We all, from various standpoints, accepted the policy which you

Ships which were stopped off Swałów yesterday and advised not to enter the port included Jardine's Esang and the China Navigation Company's Suiyang, both of which reached Hongkong early yesterday morning.
The Esang arrived CAT Swntow about 5.30 a.m. yesterday and found there a concentivation of about 30 Japanese vessels, including trans- ports, destroyers, and cruisers. Planes were flying overhead, The Japanese appeared to be landing at that me.
Told that it was inadvisable to enter Swalow, the Esang continued on to Hongkong.
The Sulyang, arrived about an hour later, found much the same position. She was still about four miles off the port when she encoun tered Japanese ships and was worn- ed against entering the port.
