PRACTICAL POSSIBILITY OF JAPANESE BOYCOTT
Effective Pressure Must Be Applied By Several Countries
i
UNITED STATES MUST BE ONE
London. October 5.
The "Manchester Guàrdian" querying the practical possibility of a Japanese boycott says that no doubt many people endorse the Labour Party's demand in the matter but it is not enough to call for action without some knowledge of what is wanted and how it is to be obtained. Neither in a voluntary boycott nor even a Government baycott could Britain alone seriously inconvenience Japan. Effective pressure must be applied by several countries simultaneously and be Moreover, the United States must be thorough and far-reaching.

For China's Wounded
London, October 5.
A jou of chloroform has been offered by an anonymous donor in aid of medical work being carried on by the Presbyterian and Church of England missionaries in the war stricken areas of China."
The donor has also promised to provide a hundred gross of bandages and supplies of iodine. The offer was made by a man con- nected with a medical supply frm after a service of intercession at the Presbyterian Church at Hampstead on behalf of Britishers - and missionaries in the war area.
H
The Minister of the Church said that the supplies, which were intended to aid the Chinese wounded, would be sent not only to their missionaries but to other medical stations. The problem was how to
send them.
The chloroform, which will take three weeks or a month to manufacture, will probably be forwarded as it is made.
