LONDON, October 4
"The Times," in announcing that the Chinese Ambassador, Mr. Quo Tai-chi, visited Mr. Churchill and discussed the Burma Road question, says that Japan's attitude does not justify extension of the agreement to close the road. Japan has thrown in her lot with Britain's enemies.
It is believed in some Far Eastern circles, says "The Times," that Japan's operations in Indo-China cover a plan to make a demonstration towards Singapore, possibly through Thailand, when the Axis strikes in the Mediterranean.
