The Italians admitted that Bomba had been bombed and, said the Rritish algo raided Derna, Mogadiscio and Massawa without inflicting military damage. The Italians retaliated with a raid on Alexandria and an attack on a British convoy in the Mediterranean.

The Germans claimed that flying weather in the vicinity | of Britain was bad today for the fifth day in succession. De- §

spite the handicap of had weather the German high command reported extensive air activity in the past 24 hours and ad-| mitted that the British made their usual nightly raids over Germany. Latest targets of the German air force were said to be the Nabston Airportsconvoys off Berwick and the Downs where four merchant ships were said to have been hit, airports in Cornwall and Wales and aircraft factories at Reading and Rochester. Anniversary of Nazi-Soviet Pact Unofficial reports said that a 10,000-ton merchant vessel apparently hit a German mine between Ireland and Scotland and was badly damaged. The score for yesterday's air| action was given as 11 British planes destroved and two] barrage balloons. Two German planes were admitted lost. Marking the first anniversary of the Soviet-German| pact, the newspaper Izvestia in Moscow described the event as a “veritable turning point not only in the history of Soviet-German relations but also in the history of all Eurepe and not of Europe alone.” In the Far East a final battalion of 600 British troops departed from Shanghai while in Tokyo a preparatory coms mission started work on a new political structure designed to give Japan a one-party parliament after the model of Germany and Italy,
