NO HALF MEASURES
IN WAR AGAINST JAPAN ASSURANCE GIVEN TO CHINA. BY MEMBER OF BRITISH MISSION. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) CHUNGKING, November 2<i. ‘•Britain will continue the war till Japan is defeated, occupied or has unconditionally surrendered," Mr H. J. Scrymgeour-Wedderburn, M.P., on behalf of the British Parliamentary Mission, told a Press conference. He added that it was merely a strategic, technical matter whether Germany was defeated first and Japan second, but there was no doubt in the minds of the British people that both must be defeated thoroughly. Britain would not tolerate a negotiated peace. ‘‘Without an occupation punishment of the war criminals is out of the question,” he said. "We must gain a complete victory through the forceful destruction of aggression.” The Finance Minister, Mr Soong, announced that he was going to London at the invitation of the British Government and would then go to Washington.
