Trinidad and other islands of the West Indies form key positions vital to American defense, especailly in the rather | poorly protected Panama Canal area The only opposition to annexation of British territory in Congress is coming from a small group of isola- tionists who are tenaciously holding out against popular demand. Cne Senator suggested that the United States cancel Britain’s debt from the last World War in return for strategic military and naval lo- cations along the coast of Canada and in Central and South American waters The State Department and the White House at press conferences declined to auote the price which the United States will be willing to pay for such concessions. - .- - AIR RAIDS ARE MADE BY JAPAN TOKYO, Aug. 17.—The Japanese War Ministry reported today a series of raids in tropical South China territory held by the Chungking government. Army aerial squadrons flew over jungles of Kwangsi Prov- ince and attacked the city of On- lung, 150 kilometers northwest of the Naningyu River: Later in the day, the same suad- rons bombed Luiping, 150 kilometers west of Nanning, The War Ministry said that build- ings, believed those of Chinese field headquarters, were bombed at both points. The ministry said that the air forces in South China will be forced to remain inactive for some time because of the sub-tropical rainy SRt gt il 3RDDERBY OF SEASON ON SUNDAY Anglers Are_fo~ Fish for Big Ones Off Marmion to | Finish Summer } Sports Fishing Club derby year to- morrow at Marmion Island. | The boat Wanderer leaves the | Upper City Float at 8 o'clock to- | morrow morning and fishing begins at 9, one hour later, ending at 5 o'clock in the afternoon with all fish to be weighed in aboard the | Wanderer not later than 5:15 | o’'clock. | A good run of fish is reported off | Marmion, both kings and cohoes, | and with a long list of prizes for winners of the contest, a good crowd of fishermen should be going out, either aboard the Wanderer or on | private boats. e SHOT-WOUNDED SHANGHAI, Aug. 17.—Violence | occurred in Shanghai this morning | when Kush Chung, Japanese mer- chant, was shot and critically wounded.
