But Financial Aid Still Necessary

Hsinking, Apr. 4. In an exclusive interview with Mr. F. A. Kennard, editor of the Japan Chronicle, leading British-managed English newspaper in Japan, General Chang Ching-hui, the Manchukuo Premier, declared that here was no suggestion at present that Manchukuo should make an additional financial! contribution towarda Japan's mili- tary expenses in Manchukuo.

"We intend to build even battle- whips and cruisers in addition to warships of smaller types," Premier Chang sald.
