FAR EAST WAR
POLICY OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DISCUSSION WITH JAPAN. AN ADMINISTRATOR’S HINT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.0 p.m.) SINGAPORE. July 14. Mr S. W. Jones, Acting-Governor of the Straits Settlement, broadcasting, said the British Government was at present discussing certain Japanese proposals regarding the Sino-Japanese war. He added: "Believing that the Chinese and Japanese peoples desire an honourable peace, the British Government will go to the greatest lengths to avoid seconding and prolonging the war in the Far East. Britain must be allowed to concentrate on the struggle against Hitler’s Germany until that struggle is won. even if the causes she has at heart must be sacrificed for a while.”
