Japs Control Hong Kong Routes Tighten Grip on South China
Japanese forces completed the Swatow coastal occupation in South China, giving Nippon control of land and sea approaches to Hong Kong.

Admiral Yarnell departs Tientsin for Chinwangtao as Tokio papers claim Britain retaliates with economic moves against Japan.
