“IF JAPAN does think of attacking Malaya, she will have her hands full, for the Japanese must realise now that we are much stronger in the Far East than ever before, and as time goes on the pos- sibility of the United States entering the war be- comes greater," said Mr. William Denis Allen, second secretary to the British Embassy in Chung- king, on his arrival in Singapore.

Mr. Allen is to act as assistant to Mr. A. Duff Cooper, the British Cabinet Minister, who is on a mission for the War Cabinet.

"Japan," said Mr. Allen in an in-

terview with the "Straits Times," BRITISH BANK OPENS

"must have since felt the effect of the United States freezing order She and American aid to Russia, cannot fail to observe also that the American attitude in regard to the war has become Increasingly stronger."

Asked about Chungking's reac- tion to Japan's acquisition of bases i in French Indo-China, Mr. Allen stated that the Chinese felt that the more firmly established the;

Threat To Yunnan

"It is not so much the potential threat to Thailand that the Chinese are concerned with as the possi- hility of a Japanese move through Yunnan to cut off China's vital supplies along the Burma Road," he said.

It was, therefore, very impor- tant that China should keep open that vital supply route, and that she and Britain'should work In close collaboration to achieve that object.

The Chinese, he said, did not know much about Burma before hostilities began, but through the' Japanese threat to her freedom and their ideas of a "southward. expansion," Chinese came to realise. the importance of Burma to them and the maintenance of the Burma Road...

Relations between China and Burma had grown closer since that discovery. and there had been a regular inter-change of visitors and officials between the two countries. Relations were now much closer than before.

No Negotiated Peace

China was prepared to prosecute the war with Japan Indefinitely and there was no possibility of a negotiated peace materialising, be- tween the two countries, Mr. Allen added:

Mr. Allen went on to describe the attitude of the population, of Chungking in face of the continu- ed air, ralds..

"The saying that every visi- tor to London remarks. Your policeman are wonderful' applios also to the moralo of the Chung- king populace," he said. "These morale is wönderful; it is 'ex- traordinary. As soon as ralders have passed construction of new buildings continuon,"tem

Mr. Allen, who arrived with his wife, was formerly attached to the Foreign Office in London. He was sent to Shanghal before being transferred to Chungking, where he had been for the past year.
