DR. KOO'S VIEW OF MATTERS
JAPAN WANTS TO GET OUT
(P.A.)
AUCKLAND, This Day,
"As far as China is concerned the crisis is over and the danger of being crushed by Japan has passed away. Japan is attempting to withdraw from the war quickly with the least possible loss of prestige." said Dr. T. Z. Koo. Travelling Secretary of the World Student Christian Federation, who has arrived by the Monterey to tour the Dominion.
Dr. Koo said that the Chinese people were grateful for the credit of 50,000,000 dollars granted to them by the United States Government. The money would be used for heavy munitions, which were needed urgently.
"The refusal of the Soviet to allo.w munitions to be transported across Russia for the use of the belligerents will not affect the delivery of war materials from America," Dr. Koo said. He added that most of it was i*eceived over the Burma Road. Russia was supplying a limited amount of war materials to' General Chiang Kai-shek, mostly aeroplanes.
