JAPS. DISLIKE GERMANS
OPINIONS OF REPATRIATES.
B.O.W.
RUGBY, Oct. 11.
Among nearly 900 persons repatriated on the Narkunda from the Far East many gave a description of life in Japanese-occupied China. Mrs A. Askhon, who with her husband ran a Salvation Army hostel in China, said that they were allowed to earry on with their work after the Japanese occupation, but the conditions were terribly poor. They lived mostlf on rice, and at least 100 Chinese were dying daily. Mrs I. Slater, who has spent 14 years in missionary work in China, said that the Japanese did not like the Germans: "In North China," she said, "they treated the Germans worse than ourselves and I was amused when a German Consular official, commenting on the attitude of the Japanese towards the Germans said it seemed to him that they were fighting on the wrong side."
