INQUIRY INTO ATROCITIES IN HONG KONG REQUEST BY ARGENTINE TURNED DOWN. RIGHT TO SEND SUPPLIES ALSO REFUSED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, March 18. It is learned that the Japanese Government has rejected the Argentine Government’s request, as Protecting Power for Britain, to be allowed to send representatives to Hong Kong to investigate atrocities. A Buenos Aires message reports that Japan has rejected the request of the British Government for permission to send a Red Cross ship to Hong Kong with food, clothes and medicines for troops and civilians taken prisoner. Japan replied that it was not necessary to send supplies to Hong Kong, since British prisoners were receiving the same treatment as Japanese soldiers. Argentina is continuing to press the matter.
