CHINESE OPINION
COLONEL KNOX’S STATEMENT DENOUNCED Cl ACTION AGAINST JAPAN DEMANDED. DISSATISFACTION SAID TO BE GROWING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, January 14. Sixteen leading Chinese organisations in New York telegraphed to President Roosevelt denouncing the statement by Colonel Knox that Hitler must be defeated before Japan, and that therefore full-scale action by the United States Fleet in the Pacific could not be expected shortly. The organisations begged the President not to commit the disastrous blunder of following such a policy, and warned that there was a limit to Chinese patience. “A spirit of deep dissatisfaction is growing in China,” the telegram stated. “Either we are fighting a common war or we are not. To discriminate between the enemies will bring disunity into the ranks of the Allies.”
