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.

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.

Dr. MztcMillan thanked those who inspired the Bristol Day en- tertainment and carried “this most worthy of causes" to a successful conclusion. He referred to the wonderful as- sistance being given to the bomb- ed cities in Britain by the Cana- dian Red Cross. In one borough 1n London 1100 families were bombed out .of their homes in one night. “It is a great satisfaction to know that on that occasion, the Canadian Red Cross Society, which has never failed when called on, opened its warehouse and poured out the clothing. garments and food ncccssaryr for these unfor- innate people," he declared. He reminded his audience that, as the proceeds of this entertain- ment. were going to assist bcmbed people of Bristol, they were per- forming the highest act of charity and Christian duty by contributing to the cause. "There is no part o1 the Dominion doing its duty as lvell as Prince Edward Island," he said and referred to the splendid response received when every fi- nancial nppeal ulas oversubscribed.

For every fighter aircraft Royal Canadian Air Force pilots take up, there are many men on the ground ready to tackle at a moment‘; not- ice jobs ranging from patching bul- let holes in the wing to overhaul- ing the machine from tip to tail. _ These aren't the men you read a- | bout in the accounts of sky battles ' over Britain or sweeps across north- ern France.

After a winter of inactivity, the RCAF. fighter squadron which helped win the battle of Britain last summer and autumn is on op- erations again, flying sometimes at night in search of German raiders and sometimes by day escorting bombers across the channel.
