Sir Frederick Whyte Says Japan Needs Money

London, Nov. 2.

Speaking at York today, Sir Frederick Whyte, formerly Political Adviser to the Chinese Government, said there were indications that the end of the Sino-Japanese war might be approaching.

Combined action by Great Britain and America, he declared, might bring a real settlement between China and Japan.

"Japan," Sir Frederick Whyte continued, "is bound to come to Britain and America to borrow money. We must not leave it to bankers to settle terms. We must lay down certain minimum political and moral obligations, which must be recognized by Japan before either Britain or America agrees to lend her a penny."

The Prime Minister joined Attlee in expressing sympathy for the refugees of the world today.

He mentioned that authority had been given for temporary admis to the United Kingdom: ai duals from Czechoslovakia, who were actually in danger if they remained there.

Their maintenance while in England, he continued, had been arranged for and would be extended to their families, if similar undertakings for their maintenance were forthcoming.

Mr. Chamberlain also announced that the Government had appointed Mr. R. J. Stockford, who had atcompanied the Runciman mission to Prague, to report on the number and condition of refugees in Czechoslovakia and the progress of relief.

He said that he was not yet in a position to make a fuller statement on the proposed guaranteed loan to Czechoslovakia, but that the advance of £10,000,000, already made, would be drawn upon for the maintenance and settlement of refugees.
