'l'hat Japan was ng oer- iein demands was effect so- knowledged by Thai officials.

Broadcast Japanese reports that iheilaud had recognized the Jap- anese puppet government of Man- thouko were confirmed tonight by

the Bangkok Government. But while the Japanese appeared in set e certain complsisence in

nlch recognition, it appeared that whatever concession Thailand had made was offset by creation of the Battambang base. Delayed Bangkok advices stated that Thailand's final course de- pended greatly on the attitude of Britain and the United states. The size of new British, Aus- tralian and India forces arriving during the day in Singapore, which already had been heavily urongthcned, was not disclosed. However. the contingent in- cluded troops, skilled engineers and lechmczans, said the official an. nounccment, and arrived in a big convoy which had put out origin- ally from a northwestern port in Britain, picking up large numbers oi lndin troops at Bombay. e A British decision to move ahead

oi any Japanese encroachment ln Thailand was represented by informed persons as the logical

outcome of a determination, back- ed by the United states, to halt the Japanese advance which al- ready has put the whole of French lndo-China under Japan's control.

informed persons suggested that Bzilznrs emergency plans might be for the seizure of Bangkok and the ports of the Kra. Isthmus, which in Japanese hands would cut oii Singapore from the Asia- lic mainland.

Gi-DICAGO. Aug. L-(APL-Rep- YQBQUI-l-NVH O! 19 United States railroad labor organizations de- cided late today to take immed- iate strike votes among approxi- mately 1.200,000 members after the carriers had rejected their de- mands for higher wages. Union spokesmen reported that the ballots would be sent out at once and predicted that the re- sults would be known 1n a week. Leaders of the two groups of brotherhoods-the five operating unions and the l4 non-operating unions-stated that they would not ask the national railway med. iation board to intervene but add- ed that they would accept the board’; services if it elected to step into the dispute. Earlier in the day. representa- tives of 125 lines, embracing 99.- per cent of the rail mileage in the United states, informed the labor leaders that they were unable to meet requests for pay hikes WhlClI the owners calculated would add $900,000,000 o year to their oper- ating expenses. The operating unions announ- ced they would poll their members on what action they want to take on the pay increases they seek and the changes in working rules proposed by the. railroads. The non-operating unions re- ported they would solicit their members‘ stand on those two is- sues and also on the workers’ de.. mands for vacations, with pay.

Other cities in Canada and United states, which are name- sakes Of Old Bristol, united m lending assistance to the bombed out People in the British port, The = proceeds of last night's entertain, ment will be donated to this can...

The crowd heard stirring pail-10, ic speeches from the following; 11,; Honour, Lieutenant Governor l3 W. IePage. Premier Thane A Cunrbell. Hon. m. W.J.P. MacMil- r lan, Hon. J.P. McIntyre and Rev, Father McKenna. Hon. l-l. 1-1, cox was chairman.

Mr. Charles Earle, Charlottetown in his usual capable manner ren- dered several pleasing solos during the 0708mm Ind was it general fa- vorite with the audience. He was heartily encored after each num- ber. Miss Lillian Earle was the accompanist. The Prince Edward Island Light Horse Band, under the direction of Bandmaster Thom- 8s McFarlane, was present and played several munbera before and during the program.

The women's institutes from the surrounding districts went "all out" in life matter of providing the chicken supper in the hall. Such was the response that it was im. Possible to get into the building without waiting in line for a lung time. This part of the entertain- ment was a great success as the people found shelter and a firs‘. class supper inside.

The village itself was fittingly decorated for the occasion as were also the numerous booths. Special lighting equipment was supplied and lilies of electric lights were strung all over iize grounds. Park- ing spaces were provided on each sue 0f the village for the many cars which came from all parts of the province.

LtJGov. B. W. LePage

Lieutenant Governor LePage, in his opening remarks, thanked the people of Bristol and surrounding districts and others who were re- sponslble for the entertainment. He Welflomed the many visitors, par- ticularly those from the United States, for their attendance. and reminded them that they were meeting for a worthy cause. He had special words of praise for the ladies of the various Women's Institutes for their contribution to the work. ,

The City of Bristol in England Ls only a short distance from Lon- don, and with it, had been called on to bear the brunt of the bomb- ings by the German airmen who glcried in attacking innocent peo- ple. He contrasted the present con- flict in which innocent women, children and old people were in the front lines, with that of the last war when soldiers and sailors bore the brunt of the fighting. He re- minded his audience of the fact that even the King and Queen are in the front line this time and their palace had suffered from the German bombings.

Governor LePage pictured a brighter turn of the war at pres- ent with the Russians holding tlle Germans and the tables being turn- ed on them by the Royal Air Force. He predicted, with increased bomb- lngs of German cities by the Brit- ish airmen, there is no reason why the war would not be brought to u successful conclusion soon.

Premier Campbell

Premier Campbell referred to the statements of Rt. Hon. Malcolm MacDonald. British High Commis- sioner to Canada, who visited here recently. The latter in an inspir- 111g aiylress during his stay here. had described some of the trial"- and tribulations suffered by the people of Great Britain as a result of ilte Nazi raids. Mr, MacDonald had answered the question of how long they could hold out in Britain, by stating that the people could take it as long as they had the confidence that the frce world, and particularly North America was behind them, the Premier told his listeners. Continu- 111g he said this is a war of nerves —not only this, but it is a war dc- pending on the nerves of tilt‘ .100- ple of Great Britain. Bcferfing to Bristol. he said il- was an important port where ves- sels carrylng soldiers and muni- tions of war from North America are constantly arriving. For this reason it is an important obiefillve and was selected as a special target by the German airmen. For many nights and many weeks it was sub- jected to severe bombings. The world was amazed at the courage shown by the people there in witn- standing these assaults. This was probably due t0 the moral rearm- ament campaign instituted there by the Lord Mayor. Besides this 20 cities in United States bearing the name of Bris- tol had exchanged dgreetings with the English city an raised funds for the benefit of the bombed people. The Premier announced that Mr. L. R. Allen, summerside, who was scheduled to speak. was un- nble to be resent but had sent word that te Bristol Day assist- ance campaign would receive a substantial contribution from the Victory Loan Campaigner; at Summerside.
