In spite of a "real bashing" sustained through heavy Ger- man air raids on the city. Manchester is uncowed and defiant. A letter received by trading a leading British
house in Hongkong from a 'Manchester firth states that, although the raids have al- tered the face and contour of the old city, the only altera- tion to its spirit is to make it even more determined than ever to make an end of Hitler and all that he stands for.
The following excerpts from the letter, which we are pri- vileged to publish, may prove to be of some interest to local commercial circles who have relations with Manchester firms and to the public gener-
the ally. They show markable spirit of the British people in a time of difficulty and danger, and also revent how trade, the life-blood of the nation, is being carried
on.

Keep Flag Flying "Speaking from a purely commercial angle," says the. letter, "we are, under obvious- ly diflicult and awkward cir- cumstances, doing our best to carry on and keep the flag not flying, and ashamed of our efforts in this We arc direction-in Tact

rather proud of ourselves, but we are not overlooking the fact that we have received tre- mendous help from overseas friends who, appreciating the position, have looked with a blind eye at what under nor- mal circumstances they would have acclaimed with horror as being gross misdemeanours on our part although, in the -main, we are surprised our- selves that we have not had to take as many liberties as we visualised that might be necessary.
"Manchester as a whole. and we in particular, have al- ways prided ourselves not only upon the standard of our goods but upon the prompt- ness of our deliveries, and it is in regard to the latter that we have experienced most dil- ficulty.
Thanks To Navy "Thanks to the Navy, we are getting good supplies of cotton and, whilst. It is no secret that bits and pieces of these have been destroyed by enemy action, there has been no shortage. At the same time, however, a terrific strain has been placed on Lancashire machinery to full those vast supplies of
and Home Colonial Government require- ments which must necessarily have priority even over ex- port; and, whilst export comes a good second, manufacturers have in many cases found it difficult to keep up to time with some of our orders, but they have really made some noble efforts and, taking it all in all, they have, under ex- ceptionally diflcult circum- stances, done extraordinarily well.
"From the overseas buyer's point of view, one of the chief bugbears has been the matter of delivery and length of time that it has taken for the goods

Real Blitz

real "Blitz;"
even to and, as a those who had experience in the last war, this new kind of warfare has really to be seen in order to be believed, beruse it defies de- scription by any other than an
artist.
That damage was done, and serious damage at that, cannot be denied; but, as usual, the brunt fell upon the civilian and commer- cial community, and it is indeed sad to see the wanton destruction of famous landmarks that have no bearing on the national war effort under no stretch; of the and

objectives.
To those of you who know Manchester it really hurts to think of the Royal Exchange, Corn Ex- change, Cathedral, Free Trade Hall (home of the Halle Concerts), to hame but a few of the buildings, destroyed.
Considering the intensity and the ferocity of the attack, the damage, bad enough though it is, is greatly less than might have been expected; hat, what really is "important," the damage to the-war-

"Naturally, the whole tenor of nur lives is temporarily changed because, we have mentioned; this war is so different from the last inasmuch as, except for the Middle East, it is the civilian and not the soldier who is in the front line.

Luftwaffe Trying To Fly Higher
By F. G. H. Salusbury
A
STRUGGLE for height will provide the greatest technical battle between the R.A.F. and the Luftwaffe in 1941.
The Germans are now devol- ing particular attention to Fast, extremely high-flying bombers.
a
If they can produce machine which can, more or jess, meet our fighters on level terms, the year will probably see a revival or an attempted revival of day bombing in force.
Chief Attack
It was during the Battle of Britain in the autumn that our fighters drove the German day bomber out of the sky, and compelled Goering, to adopt night bombing as his chief attack.
The Germans have always preferred day bombing, if only for the reason that aircraft whose function is to clear the way for invasion must see what they are doing.
The extreme height aimed at is not ideal for observation or accurate bombing, but it would largely obviate the danger of defending fighters descending on the bombers' backs.
New Tactics
Clouds of enemy fighters would engage the defenders, while the bombers, flying at a tremendous height, would pro- ceed with the minimum of escort.
The new tactics will, pre- aumably, develop these
on lines--if we let them.
