To the Editor of the "NortH-Cuina Day News."
Sm—Atter reading of the Keswick Road "incident" on Sunday, I was very disturbed to see a Japanese bombing-plane pass between the Custom House and the Cathay Hotel at 1230 this (Monday) afternoon. It was followed about five minutes later by three other machines which kept well away to the north as they crossed from Pootung, as did the bombers which had been active earlier in the morning, but the pilot who crossed the river at 1230 could have dropped a bomb on your office had he been so disposed. The thought that "deep regrets" would have been subsequently expressed possibly may be consoling to you, but as I said in a previous letter, this daily proximity to pilots whose judgement at times seems, to put it mildly, somewhat erratic. makes me Nervous.
