STRONG PROTEST
BY HIGH CHINESE OFFICIAL ' AGAINST ALLIED POLICY IN PACIFIC. ATTACK ON JAPAN URGED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) CHUNGKING, January 18. Dr. Sun Fo, chairman of the Legislative branch of the Chinese Government, declared: “If England and America intend to allow Japan a free rein in the Far East while they defeat Hitler in Europe, there is grave doubt as to the wisdom of China continuing to fight. If the policy of the united nations is to remain solely on the defensive in the Pacific, it would seem a broad hint to China to sit tight, thereby ending suffering and bloodshed here at least until Hitler has been eliminated. 'lf China is forced into inaction, Japan can withdraw ten to twenty divisions from China for use in the South Seas, Burma and even India.” Dr. Sun Fo expressed a belief that Japan could be beaten before Hitler had time to reorganise his defeated forces in Russia, but stated that Britain and America must send reinforcements to enable Singapore to hold out and to strike towards Japan in Thailand and Indo-China, using Chinese troops in Burma.
