Burma Road,

July 9- (Tues. dflY-(AP) — Persons close to the Japanese Government claimed today it is possible that, continued refusal of Britain to close the Burma road to China may result in armed Japanese action ag- ainst the Crown Colony of I-long Kong.

The war, navy eign ministries scheduled omergcncy conferences i0 discuss the British rejection yesterday of Japanese de- mands that this last link be- tween ihe Chinese Nation- illist forces and the outside world be shut off.

Reliable sources said the Japanese planned “drastic action" if the British stand were not changed. _

Foreign Minister Hzlchiro Arita told the British Am- bassador. Sir Robert Craigic. that his reply was not satis- factory and urged him to advise London i0 reconsider.

The British refusal contrasted s9 strongly with the French and Dutch at-titudcs. which offered no resistance to Japan. that. the shock to Japanese was even greater than it might have been otherwise.

Neutral diplomatic quarters ex- pressed belief that the Burma road
