New York, Jan. 12

The Sino-Japanese war may last another three years and relief funds will be needed long after that, Dr. John Earl Baker, of Shanghai, Chairman of the International Famine Relief Committee, told the Church Committee for China Relief here yesterday.

After the war, Dr. Baker said, rehabilitation work. will surpass' the importance of present relief work. The Japanese have been fighting for 20 months, he said, but have not created any "occupied areas". China is controlled by the Chinese, except where Japan has troops and guns, Dr. Baker declared.—United Press.
