The registration of dock workers was a step in the right direction, but the obvious next step of a guaranteed week seemed hard to take.

A huge area in the suburbs of Manila, near the Pasay River, was devastated afternoon of May 3 by a fire which swept out of control in a steady wind, engulfing the wooden houses of the Filipinos at the rate of one a minute for several hours and rendering more than 6,000 persons homeless. About 40 blocks, wherein were over 1,000 homes, were destroyed. Fortunately, the death toll was low, only three or four persons being killed, but several people were injured. These pictures just received, show the conflagration at its height, and the shambles that was seen the morning after the catastrophe. (Photos by Airport Studio, Manila, through Sun Ying Ming).

Hitler for his courage, common sense, physical vigour and deep loyalty to the National Socialist cause, should abandon his country. If it provokes the German into thinking, n's it must, then Nazism is doomed, for it is now discredited.

The importance of Hess is clearly brought out in the following extract from the "Niedersacchsische Tages- zeitung" of Jan. 18, 1941:
