Uncowed By The Blitz
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
leading British trading house in Hongkong from a Manchester firm states that, although the raids have al tered the face and contour of the old city, the only altern- tion to its spirit is to make il 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- ally. They show the markable spirit of the British people in a time of difficulty and danger, and also reveal 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 difficult and awkward cir- cumstances, doing our best to carry on and keep the fag flying, and we arc not ashamed of our efforts in this direction-in fact we Rre 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.
"Manichester as

and we in particular, have al- ways pride 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 dif- 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 terrifle strain has been placed on Lancashire machinery to fulfil those vast supplies of Home and 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 difficult 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

Arrive but with tremendous strain placed upon shipping generally and on cer- tain ports in particular, we are surprised that the authori- ties have been able to uphold such a service as exists to-day.
Real Blitz
"During the last few months we have had several visitations from our narhirnat enemy, but it was not until the two nights of Sunday and Monday, December 22 and 23. that we had what is now known as a real "Blitz,"
cren to those who had experience in the lost war, this new kind of wartore has really to be seen in order to be believed, because it deiles de- seription by any other than an

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 and which, under no stretch of the Imagination, can be called military 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 name but a few of the buildings, destroyed.
"Considering the intensity and the ferocity of the attack, the lumage, and enough though it is, is greatly less than might have been expected; but, what really is important, the damage to the war effort is practically nil, and as long as this remains the case, we, of the civilian-army-can-end-will- take it

Luftwaffe Trying To Fly Higher
By F. G. H. Salusbury
STRUGGLE for height
A will provide the greatest
technical battle between the R.A.F. and the Luftwaffe in 1941.
The Germans are now devot- ing particular attention to fuht, extremely high-flying
bombers.
11
If they
can produce machine which can, more or less, meet our fighters on level terms, the year will probably seo a revival-or an attempted revival of day bombing in force.
Chief Attack
It was during the Battle of Britain in the autumn thut our fighters drove the German diy bömber 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, prc- sumably, develop on these lines if we let them.
New Zealand Farms
Meet War Programme
Substantial success of the New Zealand Government's wor time farm production programme was described recently by the new Agricultural Minister, James G. Barclay. He said the main feature of the programme was increase in animal products, which involved raising larger crops.
He asserted that there had triumphantly fulfiled, the Minister been only one notable failure in sald. The British asked for 15,000 tons more cheese this season and this crop schedule. The North

already has been produced. Island had been asked to raise Losses of foodstuffs on the way to 20,000 acres of barley, yet only Britain led London to request fur- ther attention to cheese production 5,000 acres were sown.
Instead of butter, yet the butter out- put is being maintained.
Crops harvested will be ample to feed the larger flocks which the Dominion now possessed, he added, Lambing last Spring was the high est since 1930, and there are 750,000 more lambs on the forms than last year.

The British asked for

This in- clease was attained without import- Ing any additional, feed, Mr Bar- clay added. dle rovented that the Maorls are helping the farm pro- gramme by raising new corn crops.
