service and thus show in their pub- licity releases that Prince Edward Island is still a province cf the Do- minion." It was moved by Mr. R. E. Mutch and seconded by Dr. J. A. Clark, A copy of the resolution will be sent to Premier Ccnupbell, it was decided.

While protesting the discontin- uance of Trans-Canada service. those taking part in the discussion pointed out that they were not against the new service which was inaugurated yesterday. The latter has its advantages, several speak- ers asserted. It was also suggested that the present runways at the local airport would probably have to be extended w acccmodate the larger air liners of the 'I‘rans- Oanada service.

The additional air service sought by the Board would be the one pro- posed when ‘Irons-Canada. first contemplated coming to the prov- ince. The Trans-Canada planes would come here directly‘ from Moncton and continue through to Halifax.

Those taking part in this dis- cussion were: Messrs. R. E. Mulch, V. A. Ainsiworth, Dr. J. A. Clark, Lt-Col. K. S. Rogers, Lt-Cni. G. E. Pull, Walter Hyndman and_ Wallace Higsins.

New Ferry Requested

In the matter of obtaining a new car ferry for the Borden-Tormen- tine run, it was decided to write a letter to the Premier thanking him for the action he had already taken in this ccnnection and ask- ltgg him to further press the mat.-

i‘

It was also decided to request Premier Campbell to ask for dredging at Wood Islands and Caribou terminals by the Domin- ion Government, also for a paved road to the Island terminal, and to assist ln obtaining an additional boat for this service.

A letter from Mr. F. McLure Sclanders. commissioner of the St. John Board of "Trade, received re- centlv bv Mr. R. E. Mutch was read to the meeting. The letter stated that as the bulk of the war orders have one to the central provinces to the detriment of the industries cf smaller provinces. the Boards of Trade should use their power in the national interest.

It was announced bv Col. Rogers that he had‘ been informed by Capt. J. L. Read that the public inouiry into the sinking of the SS. Char- lottetown will take pinoe December 11th at Halifax.

Several routine matters. arising out of correrrpcndenee, were dealt with by the meeting,

During the discussion on the new ear ferry. the need of awakening the public as to its necessity through the medium of articles in the newspapers and discussion on the radio, was stressed. For this purpose a publicity committee con- sisting of Mr, Walter l-lyndman, Mr. V. A. Ainsw-Orth and Col. G E. Full. was named.

The Japanese land assault. be- gining at Monday dawn, encount- ered almost immediately heavy road and railway demolitions— completed within uwo hours-and then felt the blasts from the perim- eter of heavily-manned mainland defences which have been under preparation since 1938.

The larger part of the colony lies on the mainland, although the main city of some 2.000.000 is on an island just offshore.

The two main points of attack were the neighborhood of ‘Iiaipo and along the Castle Peak Road, on the western coast of the maln- larid. The Japanese moved cautious- ly. and up to tonight the land op- erations were in the nature of skirmishes.

One Japanese patrol. however, ran into an ambush la Bren gun-carrier patrol along the Cattsle Peak Road, and was wiped ou».

The Hang Kong headquarters. with dry humor, related the story of a Japanese scout who was seen signalling from a mound on the edge of the British mainland de- fences

"In reality," the statement said, "It was one of our concealed mines. wlfich was immediately touched off. The signaller vanished."

Air attacks f/‘(lliy were aimed at the Island of Kowloon. off Hong Kong which yesterday had the ex- clusive atention of the raiders and came off unscathed.

Gives sharp Warning to San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 9-H?) -Lt.-Gen. John L. Dewitt, com- manding genezal of the 4th army, bluntly told the sen Francisco civfian defence emergency meet- ing today "it might have been a good thing if bombs had been dropped last night to wake this community up to the seriousness of the situation."

City and military officials hast- ily made arrangements for m im- proved blackout system.

Angered by persistent rumors that the imp1omptu blackout last night was "all a hoax" and by the attitude of skepticism on the part of some citizens, Dewitt told the

' meeting :-

"Japanese planes were over this community last night. They were tracked and followed to sea."

The defence council, seeking to co-ordinate the volunteer services of some 20.000 citizens. felbbrted future blackouts would be ordered by Brig-Gen. William 0rd Ryan. head of the 4th interceptor com- mand, only if there were reel danger.

The order would be transmitted over the police radio and sirens sounded. p‘...

“From a well-planned and ener- getic na/tisnal war program there have sprung business activity and employment of record proportions which have provided the highest standard of living than many of our D¢°f>le have ever enjoyed. Even greater industrial activity and em- ployment are certain but it is clear that we must convert more of our productive capacity to arm- ament. requirin a stricter diver- 510:1 of maieria for that purpose and in consequence a smaller sup- ply of civilian goods.

"The time of real War sacrifices is here and we should make these willingly. in the knowledge that they and all the courage and men-

Canadian industry is currently setting new records of production, said A. E. Arscott, General Man- ager otf the bank. Construction and farm production power had risen to 10-year peaks. Employment was at a record level and wage payments had increased by nearly one-third. There had been a gain of 60 per cent in industrial prdouctfon since August. 1939.

A mall. said to be fully identified. telephoned officials at first army headquarters. Governor's Island, N. _Y.. that he had heard in a Wash- ington radio station broadcast that the bombers had been reported, He asked whether it was true.

The army inquired at the New York office of the Associated Press and failed to get verification. A war department spokesman at Washington told The Associated Press the war department had not reported tlte enemy planes.

Meanwhile, however, an official at Governor's Island had telephon- ed an inquiry to Mitchel Field. Long Island, which is the headquarters for the interceptor planes which safeguard the city.

This inquiry seemed ‘to have been misunderstood as a warning‘) “from Washington," and washing n, be- tween officers, tends to mean the war department.

Mitchel Field's commander took no gltances. the planes took to the air, and the press then was told that the alarm resulted from an official report from Washington of a raid threat.

Further confusion resulted when the war department reiterated it had not originated the report. but that all air force stations had been put. on the alert because of the war emergency.
