Will report back to the ass nmbly it's rec

In speaking Of the proposed fed "a
ton several of the older members OF tho
assembly expressed themselves as de-
cldfdly opposed to a union. Some re-
fuse to give their reasons but say that
they will do so when the proper time
comes. Although some hint has been
made as to a possible union Of the
Presbyterian churches some time in the
near future. none that were spoken to
Seem to think that there is a likelihood
of such steps being taken In this as
sembly. 1t is probable, however, that
matters regarding closer relationship
with Northern Presbyterians will be
taken up, some of the commissioners
believing that it may lead to a final
union. The report Of the committee re-
garding the plan of federation is look ed
upon by some as being perfectly proper
and in keeping with the usaees Of the
church. The opinion Of a great many
Is that the report will not be accepted
In its entirety and that some changes
will be made. None Of the commissions
ers here will talk regarding this matter,
preferring to wait until the question
Is brought before the assembly, The
prediction is that many spirited de-
bates will be heard on the question: No

REMARKABLE REPORT,
Recommends Strengthening lndo Chi

Recommends Strengthening lndo Chi
ma Against japanese Invasion.
Paris. May 2O.-M. Francois Delon-
lie. Republican, deputy for Indo- China,
has submitted to the special parlia-
mentary committee on naval affairs a
remarkable report on the urgent Ne
cessity 70" strengthening the safeuess
Of Indo- China against the peril Of
Japanese INVASION "Indo- China" he
says, has only two enemies to fear
namely Japan, or China encouraged
and supported by Japan. The for
mer constitutes the real danger. for
Japan has much to gain and little
to risk and her isolated position makes
her almost invulnerable to US She
could in a few weeks throw 100000
men into Indo-China and easily rein
force this first landing party Thu
first phase of such struggle would
consist of Japan's efforts to secure the
master Of the sea in order to reinforce
her troops. Owing to the great SUI
perlOritv of the japanese naval forces
in the far eastern waters our feeble
division would not risk a decisive bat
tie, hut would fall back upon our only
naval hase-SaigOn. There is would
be blockaded, as the Russians were
blocka ded a Port Arthur With DUR
division thus bottled up Japan cOul9
oppose the junction Of the blockaded
Warships with a relief squadron. and
having secured the mastery of the sea.
Japanese transports would be free t.
land invading forces" She has two
admirable anchorages ready for her
transports at Kamranh Bay and Port
Dayot She probably would take the
first, as it is nearer to Saigon. Japan
would thus be established upon the
sea route connecting Tonquin and Co.
In our present condition our defenses
could not resist such an attack. With
in a brief time Indo-China would be
the prey Of the invader"
He says the best solution is to
strongly reinforce Indo-China so that
the colony may be able to defend itself
several months against the Japanese
until the French naval divisions shall
have reached the theater of operations.
The programme to accomplish this
COlS1StS VI large augmentation OF
naval forces in the far east, an increase
of military force Of occupation to a
minimum Of $1,000 men, the establish
ment of strong naval bases at Saigon,
Kamranh Bay, Along Bay and Hulo
Condor, and the establishment of tor
pedoboat and submar ine boat stations
at Cape ST. James. Kamranh Bay and
Turin.
The report concludes with assert
ing that it would be puerile to disrc-
gard the gravity of the situation
Therefore, it is necessary to make
large sacrifices to place Indo- China in
readiness to meet the shock.
Detailed estimates are given of the
cost of the work, namely: Fertilization
of Tonquin, guns and armament. 1922
100000; cost Of defenses. including the
of naval base. at Saigon,
s14,0O0,OOO and the establishment of
topedo and other stations, $6,0OO,OOO |
Total, s42.O00,000.
M. Delonile is a member of the spe-
cial parlia mentary committee on naval
which appointed him to submit
