Hongkong, July 23.
Canton was again raided by Japanese planes this morning, the main objective being Saichuen suburb. A total of 20 planes appeared over the city at 10.30 am., dropping a great number of bombs, including two of a calibre not yet experienced in Canton. The bombs seemed to be aimed particularly at a cement factory situated in this suburb as well as the railway tracks, The Governor of Hongkong, Sir Geoffrey Northcote, had left aboard the gunboat Tarantula at eight o'clock, a few hours before the raid, having concluded a several days, official visit to Canton, where he was received with marked attention.—
