The following factors were be lieved to make a Japanese move southward less, likely now than iast r eDruary: 1 The formidable reinforce ments installed by the British in Malaya for the defense of Singapore, : ..... 2 Persistent refusal of the Dutch to concede the Japanese any economic advantages in the East Indies, coupled with the vigor of the Dutch East Indies defense program. 3 Increasing evidence that Thailand is unwilling to play the Japanese game. 4 The present limited scope of Japan's development of her air and naval bases in Indo China. 5 Recently emphasised inti mations from Manila, Canberra (Australia), Singapore, Bang kok (Thailand), and Chung king that any Japanese attempt to penetrate deeper into the China sea area runs a great risk of concerted British-American opposition which would be bolstered by the Thais and Chinese on the Japanese flank.
