Japanese "face" is at stake,
for the empire of the rising sun
certainly would lose "face" if its
attempt to mediate the Thai-Indo-China
border war went under.
The mediation proposal as re
ported by the Japanese press calls
for cession- to Thailand ot large
sections of Loas and Cambodia in
Indo-China. The French have of
fered, only a small concession
around Bassae, a region on the
right bank of the Meking river,
and the French government was
reported massing soldiers on the
Indo-Chinese frontier to fight if
the armistice ends March 7 with
out a peace agreement.

Weed Be Close to British
Further Japanese penetration in
Indo-China would put the Jap

inforced naval base at Singapore
and, incidentally, closer to the
fabulously-rich Netherlands East
Indies which Japan, covets.

British spokesman's announce

Britain and her sm-belligerent

It was expected relations be
tween Turkey and soviet Russia
would be discussed at Ankara
next with the British ambassador
to Moscow, Sir Stafford Cripps,
taking part. Sir Stafford flew
through a heavy storm to reach
Turkey, indicating the importance
of his report to Eden, his touring

Simultaneously with (the Tur

"If we (the British) leave
here," Rendel continued, "Bul-
garia will have to face the con
sequences ef being a theatre ef
war."
Reports from Bucharest said
soviet Russia had done an about
face and objected strenuously to
a German march through Bul
garia to Greece. This turn of
events was said to have led to in
creased military preparations by
Yugoslavia, which might offer an
alternate route to Greece through
the Vardar valley, historic inva

Referring to a Taft proposal for
a 12,000,000,000 loan to England,
Chandler said the Ohio senator
-wants to aid 'em $2,000,000,000

Later, with a reference to Taffs
statement that the bill was likely

the European war. Chandler asked
what, assurance the Ohioan could
give that his $2,000,000,000 worm

"I don't know" he said, "that I
