LOTTERY SUGGESTED

Two of the suggestions which emerged from the meeting of the Hongkong War Effort Committee at the Hongkong Hotel yesterday were that a huge central body representing every organisation and community be formed, and that a lottery be field,

There was a very small attendance and this fact, combined with the new conditions brought about by the evacuation resulted in a decision to postpone further procedure until representatives had obtained concrete suggestions from, their instructing bodies - on how they were prepared to aid the, South China Morning Post Fund,

The hope was expressed that the publicity accorded the *meeting would result in augmented interest and a full attendance

at the next meeting.

The Foreign Minister expressed Japan's deep dissatisfaction and told the Ambassador Japan could not but urge Britain to reconsider the mat- ter."

Pointing out that the reply has con- tained a refutation of the Japanes representation on the basis of legal teclinicalities, informed quarters de- clore Japan's public sentiment will be aroused by the British attitude.

Tokyo, July 8. Quoting well-informed quarters, newspapers stated yesterday that the Japanese Foreign Office had issued a statement to Britain, saying that further delays

ys in replying to the Japanese representations regarding the closing of the Burma route would and harden the Japanese attitude

to that Japan would be compelled lake drastic measures.

Newspapers express the view that the evacuation of Hongkong and the "further fortification of the Crown | Colony is regrettable.”—United Press.

Tokyo, July 8, Asked whether Japan wanted to stop the trade routes from China vla Burma, the Foreign Oulee spokesman said that arrangements would be made later regarding the exports by the Burma route.

The spokesman declared was up to Great Britain to suspend the transportation of war materials to China via the Burma route.

Asked about the grounds for | Japan's request to Britain, the spokesman admitted the technical complication and difficulty accom-. panying the discussion of the ques- tion in the Ught of international Law but pointed out that the Arita- Craigie formula of July, last year. recognises the progress of large- Ecole hostilities throughout China and pledges not to assist Japan's enemy on the part of Great Britain. Pointing out that the Soviet Union is also supplying the Chungking re- gime with war materials, a foreign correspondent asked whether the Japanese Government had approach- ed the Soviet Government with a request to suspend war supplies to Chungking.

The spokesman replied that he was not in a position to say how and when the Japanese Government would take up the question: with the. Soviet Union. There are
