' and wounded

in weeks.

LONDON. Jan. 'l—(CP)-—Waves of German fighter-bomber aircraft gave London its longest and most destructive daytime attack in sev- eral weeks today and killed and wounded a number of persons.

Bombers caused several casual- ties in an assault on an industrial midland town and other raiders. taking advantage oi’ better flvirg conditions after being balked last night by snow and dirty weather, struck hard at East Anglia and the southeast coast.

But despite the severlt_ of the London raid residents of he cap- ital continued their shoppin and routine tasks and Prime Mnistcr Churchill and the First Lord of the Admiralty A. V. Alexander- calmly silrveyod damage caused at Trinlt House, headquarters of the light louse service, and in the London Tower district in the “fire raid" of Dec. 29.

A number of persons were killed in London when a line of bombs fell across a street. A street car was blown off its tracks, injuring eight persons. The spire and main port of a Baptist Church crashed. A motor show- room and a bank were demolished, trapping a number of persons in the wreckage.

In another London section, four soldiers were injured when a gas main caught fire.

_At many points, machine-gun fire aloft indicated the British fighters were attacking the Ger- man raiders.

British bombers were kept from leaching Gennany lust night by the same weather which balked the 'Germans but the Air Ministry said the RAF. yesterday damaged an enelnv merchautman off Norway and hit an enemy tanker off the Netherlands.

The German air force was active alt sen, a bomber diving four t-lom to attack a. trawler off the south- east coast. Coast watchers said the bomber wns held off by the trawl- ci"s machine guns and finally fled when a Spifirc appeared.

The admiralty said seven mer- chant ships totalling 37.556 tons were lost by enemy action in the wcck ended Doc. 30.

This included lhrre British ships and four allied vessels. The total was approximately hglf the weekly average since the war began.

Declares Farmers face “Slavery”

TRURO, N. 5.. Jan. 7—(CP)— Canadian farmers face "economic slavery" if present conditions in agriculture are not remedied. H. S. Arkell of Ottawa, former livestock commissioner for Canada. told the annual conference of Nova scotla agricultural workers here today.

Mr. Arkell urged farmers to or- ganize for their own protection.

"Developments in the world since 1931 have had an impact on ever lilllliz affecting the agricul- tura industry." he said.

Export markets had been cur- tailed. surpluses had piled up and the farmer had to pay prices for his necessities which far outbalan- ced the return for his products.

“This breakdown of the value of farm products is most serious and will condemn agriculture to eco- nomic slavery if not remedied and this can only be done by a na- tional policy."

The devc opmcnt of nationalis- tic policies of self-sufficiency by some of Canada's good customers among the nations of the world was partly to blame, he said. As a result the entire agricultural galley of Canada must be chang-
