The Straits Times (Malaya) reports on page 10 that John Pennefather-Evans, Hong Kong's Police Chief, has visited Chungking (Chongqing), capital of Free China, to study the methods used in coping with Japanese air raids. He found the morale there excellent and was deeply impressed by the 'cheerfulness' of the population. The article concludes by referring to his previous police experience in Malaya and Singapore.
