Chungking, May 16.
Japanese aircraft yesterday morning again bombed Foochow, capital of Fukien province, the business sections of which are already reduced to ruins as a result of repeated bombings in the past fortnight, according to a Chinese dispatch received here today.
Six Japanese bombers are said to have raided Kian, in South Kiangsi, yesterday morning, dropping bombs both inside atid outside the city walls. On the same day, it is reported, another squadron of six Japanese "planes bombed the outskirts of Kwangchang, which is also situated in South Kiangsi.
All factories and plants along the Fukien coast have been moved to the interior in anticipation of a possible panese landing there, according to a Chinese dispatch from Foochow.
The Chinese National Industrial Cooperative Society, it is stated, has sent representatives to assist the removal, and to give technical advice.
The society's representatives, the report adds, will also register unemployed skilled labourers, who will be sent to the interior.—Reuter.
