Britain Prepared To Uffer Peace Plan To Japanes

BL J. F. Sanderson Conitd n Press Staff Writer

LONDON. July 14 —(C*P Cable) - Britain is prepared to offer con- cesslolis to Japan over the Burma road and Hong Kong in the hope they will lead to a. general settle- ment between CJIXIB. and Japan, it was reported tonight.

Although Britain is unwilling to IOTPHO treaty rights and industrial IXIWI';S'.S_ in Iili" inr easl, conces- sions \vi.l be offered Japan in the hope a larger settlement can be arranged involving the three-year- old Sino-Jopanse war.

Concerning the Burrito road, over which supplies have moved to Ciiuuskinsz.

The German note also was transmitted to four other Cen- tral American countries by Dr. Otto Rrfnebcck, German Min- fster.

Diplomatic circles here were unable to say whether the de- mands reported made to Costa Rica were included in the oihlr notes.

In addition to observing that any action at the Havana con- ference affecting Costa Rica's neutrality would be "disadvan- tageous." the German commun- icwtion was quoted in diplomat- ic circles as sayinir:—
