MANILA MORE OPTIMISTIC
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) MANILA, December 30. After the horror of the week-end the people of Manila were more optimistic to-day, first, because the city was again not bombed; secondly, following President Roosevelt’s message; and thirdly, because the military spokesman asserts that the Japanese troops have not gained one inch in the past 24 hours and that the position of the United States troops in the northern and southern fronts is firm and favourable. The spokesman adds that the damage at Corregidor is negligible and the fortress can bold out for months, regardless of Japanese bombings.
