King George on Tuesday visited the damaged area in Piraeus, the port of Athens, which was heavily bombed in the morning when Athens had its longest alert of the war.

Sober Judgment

Foreign observers in Athens have been deeply impressed by the sober caution of Greek oflclaí communi- ques, which, if anything, ere on the side of moderation.

The Greek authorities are extre- mely anxious to avoid creating any feeling of over-confidence and foreign correspondents have been urged to avoid any temptation to exaggerate Greek succeszes which can speak for

themselves.

BEAVERBROOK'S "THANK YOU":

The following cable ad- dressed to the “South China Morning Post War Fund", was received from Lord Beaverbrook to-day:-

"By their further con-'; tribution towards the cost of aircraft, the donors to the “South China Morning Post" and "The Hongkong Telegraph" War Fund bring Inspiration not only to our airmen, but to all the people of Britain.

In the hour of crisis they render noble assist- ance in the task of strik. ing down the assassins of the Luftwaffe, and in sending them this expres- sion of my deep gratitude I assure them that their share in the final victory will be a proud one- Beaverbrook.”
