HON-G KONG, June 5-—\Fifty Japanese warplanes attacking in relays killed an estimated 20o Chinese in Canton today in an air raid which lasted more than an hour.

Current raids have carried to l. peak of destruction the aerial drive begun last year to end Can- ton‘s usefulness as the gateway for Chinese supplies.

The Wongsha and Taishstou railway stations and Government buildings were the principal m- gets today.

lifove To End Labor » T r o u b l e s I n Jamaica.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 5— Acting Governor C. C. Woolley of Jamaica announced Saturday the Island's Government would em- bark immediately upon a £500,000 (about $2,500,000) “back to the land” scheme as a step toward solving the colony's unemploym -t problem.

A special department, with an experienced staff, would be set up to devote its attention to the task. Land would be bought by the Government and sold to tho people on easy terms. Agricultur- al implements, seeds, roots and stock would be provided and the services of expert agriculturists would be available, he said. An existing land settlement scheme would be reorganized and unemployed persons wishing settle on the land would receive special consideration. The plan would be begun as soon as labor conditions r, the strike-rent is- land returned to normal.

The announcement was coup- led with a. stern warning the ad- ministration would not tolerate lawlessness or disorder. Ten per- sons have been killed, scores in- jured and unestimated property damage caused in riots and clash- es between strikers and arm! police since the first oi May. ____,__.__. BADLY CRUSH!!!

Franco-Turkish Tension Subsides

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PARIS, June 5—French sources indicated today that troubled Alex- andretlo would vote in mid-July to determine whether its rule shall be Turkish Ana

or b.

Ilt was said the plebiscite being conducted by a League of Nations commission would be held then if rezistratlon. which will be resum- ed tomorrow, is completed in time.

Authoriti last week suspended registration in Aleitandrctta. a Sanjak (state) in Ii‘ranoe’s Syrian mandate, in a move to halt Turk- Ara-b disorders which have marked the pre-clection preparations.

Franco-Tilrkish tension which developed from the disorders was said by a foreign office spokesman to have subsided over the week end as veteran French Moroccan troops and Foreign Legionnaires rigidly enforced martial law in Alexandretta.

Despatches from the Sanjsk said a number of agitators were arrested during the day by the troops while 30,000 Turkish soldiers watched developments from just across the border in Turkey.

Enlarged Statute Will Make 116 Millions Available To Home Builders.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

UrrAWA, June o-Cansdians. rich and poor on the farms and in cities, towns and villages will find it easier to build new houses if legislation proposed by Finance Minister Dunning becomes law. Members uf Parliament are eag- erly looking forward to the in- troduction of an enlarged Housing Act this week when details of the

Government's plans will be ‘re- vealed. In a preliminary resolution

made public yesterday Mr. Dun- ning sclosed the measure would make available some $116,000,001! in new money ior housing build- ings, 2n addition to iiie expendi- tine made minder the Housing Act of 1935 which up to date amounts to about 314000.000.

Private Lending

It will not all be Government money, however, for the 1985 Housing Act involves loans by private lending institutions with the Dominion Government lend- ing 20 per cent of the total value oi a. new house where’ the in. stitution lends do per cent, This principle will be continued in the new act.

The important feature of the new measure is- that it brings $30,000,000 of Dominion Govern- ment rnoney into the low cost housing field. The i985 act was utilized chieily by persons who were building moderately ex n- sive homes. It provided $10, ,000 for loans to home builders which, with the amounts loaned by priv- W! lenders. meant a $50,000,000 building program of $40,000,000 worth of loans.

The new act will increase the amount available for loans of this type to $20.000.000, less the amount already loaned of which more than $30.000,000 is Government money; the maximum possible additional building will be about 586000.000 with the Dominion Government advancing $17,000,- 000 and the house-owners and. lending institutions the balance.

An entirely new section of the act is described in the resolution as authorized "the making of loans at low interest rates to local housing authorities to assist in the construction of houses to be leased to families of low in- come at rentals less than the eco- nomic rentals therefore, such loans not to exceed $30,000,000 in the aggregate.

Taken in conjunction with the municipal loans legislatim in- troduced last wcek the new hous- lng bill will make possible a boost of n\ rly $150,000,000 in new busi- ness ior the building industry.

The municipal loans authorizes the Government to lend up to $30,000,000 to municipalities ior the construction of self-liquidat- ing projects a two per cent in- terest. The projects include gas systems, water systems, electric light systems and repairs, renew- als and extensions to such sys- tems. They must be such as to increase the revenue of the muni- cipality and provide employment where employment is needed.

No deaths nor iniuries were re- (ported. Most bombs fell in open fields.

Stern Measures Urged

The prefect of Ariege depart- ment. the district in which the bombardment took place. and other local officials hurried to the scene. They dispatched a telegram directly to Premier Daladier, ask- ing him to take stern measures to prevent repetition of the incident.

The roaring motors of the bomb- i114; squadron at first merely brought villagers and peasants in and around Orlu and nearby Or- goix to the windows and doorways of their homes in curiosity. Bu-t a few moments later when bombs started hurtling earthxvard, they tiuubied into cellars and other places of safety.
