No raids, no news.

Yesterday’s raid caused slight damage per paper but hear that Taikoo area 40 houses damaged & Lai Chi Kok oil installation blown up; Kowloon docks & Holt’s wharf. Dropped leaflets warning Chinese to get out in 10 days for their own safety?

Cloudy day.

Blackout enforced from 7PM but all Jap lights on.
