TALK WITH MR. FRASER
Commentator Impressed
(Official News Service.) LONDON. May 23. The noted commentator A. J. Cumming writes in the “News Chronicle” of his first meeting with the Prime Mimstet, Mr. Fraser: “One could not but admire his sturdy common sense, his tolerance, his reasonable attitude to all practical issues of the war. and in particular, his intense loyalty to the British conceptions of decency and order. “His grasp of problems of the Bar East and his ability to set them forth iti simple terms must have been of great service in the London talks. After Qlittle judicious probing he gave me his personal guess (or estimate) of the length of the war with Japan after . Hitler is disposed of. But. that, lie insists, must be off the record till Tojo has thrown his hand in. Mr. Fraser certainly docs not under-rate the Japanese military power or the fanatical patriotism (of winch he has plenty of evidence) of the Japanese fighting men. nurtured in their tradition of dynastic hero Worship.”
