Four aircraft on the ground were destroyed ht Malaoi, where direct

At Hassari, 20 Junkers 52's were seen to be hit and a number of Messerschmitis and Heinkels were also attacked.

At Argos, similar attacks were curried out against enemy aircraft on the aerodrome. Two of them were Ect on fire and others were damaged. Enemy aircraft at Malasi made excellent targets for our aircraft and many hits were observed.

When enemy aircraft attempted a e attack on one of our in Crete, fighters inter- cepted them and destroyed three Messerschmilts and damaged others.

Anti-aircraft fire brought down four enemy aircraft and damaged others.

(2) non-discrimination in inter- and commercial relations national must be the rule so that international trade may grow and prosper;

(3) raw materials and supplies must be available to all nations with out discrimination;

(4) International agreements regu- lating the supply of commodities must be so handled us to protect fully

"The British Commonwealth," he said, "is looked upon by statesmen from the smaller nations now in this country as the nucleus of an even larger federation of democracies which could compel Germany to re- nounce aggression."
