No rations arrived. No more cigs, factory idle due to lack of power or that is their excuse anyway.

Sanitary system in jeopardy.

No Euro war news in todays papers. Bulgaria severed dip. relations with Reich & Italy.

Poor meals today due to lack of rations. Japs admit that vessel bringing food from Canton was bombed. Hungry as hell tonight.

Rations arrived 8pm. veg. only.
