Government Seeks
To Keep Status Quo,
Spokesman Says
Political Group Bases
Request on Arms Traffic

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 19.-The Tohokai
influential political party, today
passed a resolution asking the gov
ernment to carry out protective"
- occupation of French Indo-C China
on the grounds that collapse of the
French government leaves the area
without effective control and that
1t has been an avenue of munitions
supply for China.
Another strong political group, the
majority faction of the Seiyukai
Joined the Tohokai in urging the
government to turn its attention

The two groups asserted that i'm
pending changes in Europe, especial
ly the prospective breakup of the
French Empire. impel Japan to act
quickly in the lands and seas of
Southeastern Asia, specifically Indo-
China, the Netherlands Indies and
British Burma.
The Tohokai. with strong mi
nority bloc in the House of Repre-
sentatives, has long advocated Jap
anese expansion. The Seiyukai is
one of the nations two major DO
htical parties.
Earlier the government expressed
concern over maintenance of the
status quo in Indo-China and was
reported to have decided to approach
Germany and Italy on the subject
in friendly" way.
Yakichiro Suma, the Foreign Office
spokesman, said the government
considers maintenance of the status
. quo in Indo-China just as important
as in the Netherlands Indies.
After Germany invaded Holland
on May 10, Japan notified the lead
ing world powers she held the most
serious concern" in maintenance of
both the economic and political
status quo in the East Indies.
Suma told a press conference that
future diplomatic steps over the
situation were not yet certain, but
the influential newspaper Asahi re-
ported that the government had de-
cided to make "a very friendly rep
sesentation' to Germany and Italy
describing Japan's concern over
1ndo-China.
Status Quo Not Defined.
OF this report Suma said he was
sin no position to say anything"
He added that if any representation
was to be made it would be through
Japans Ambassadors in Europe.
Suma declined to define the status
quo in Indo-China, stating that al
though Japans concern was just as
great as in the East Indies, the prob
lem was different. Japan's interest,
he said, arises not only from Japans
position as the "stabilizing influ-
ence" in the Far East, but also from
concern in the munitions traffic
through Indo-China to Generals
-simo Chang Kai-sheks Chungking
government.
This munitions traffic is increas-
ingly important, said Suma, be
cause we are arriving at the last
, stage of the campaign against
Chungking."
The four key ministers of the cab
met conferred. today for the second
consecutive day on the 1ndo-China
issue.

Arms Traffic to China
Reported Banned

By the Associated Press.
HONG KONG, June 19.-The gov
ernment of French Indo-China was
reported today to have banned the
transit of goods into Chinese ter
ritory ruled by the Chungking gov
eminent in an effort to eliminate
a source of friction with Japan.
The ban applies to the Yunnan
Railway, which has been one of the
main arteries for the supply of war
materials to Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek. The highway and rail
route through British Burma re-
mains open.
Observers believed the reported
action was the outcome of warn

LIE LOCLE, ON THE FRENCH
SWISS FRONTIER. June 1.-TWO
thousand French soldiers, including
a general, 2 colonels, lieutenant
colonels and IS other officers of the
aviation staff for the Dijon region,
stumbled YEARLY across Col des
Roches ridge into neutral Switzer-
land today.
They surrendered to Swiss Army
border guards. and without mur-
muir many fell exhausted to sleep
on the grass.
The steady flow of refugees con-
tinued across this part of the Jura
frontier-the old and the young in
the dispirited masses.
They said many of their number
were killed by bombing in towns of
the Doubs valley, southeast of
Besancon. France, and of how others
met death when they were caught
helplessly between the German and
French fighting forces.
One woman brought her dead
child across the mountains with her.
The child had been killed by a
bomb fragment near Besancon.
Stories of Defeat and Retreat.
A few rode, driving in camouf1aged
automobiles and trucks, all of which
were thoroughly searched by the
Swiss for arms.
Some of the soldiers uniforms
were torn and bloody. Many of
them had fought at Verdun. They
reached Besancon Sunday, they said,
expecting to form new army, only
to find the city abandoned. AM
munition dumps and gasoline stor-
age tanks were burning. Roads
were filled with vehicles, abandoned
for lack of fuel, or burned and
twisted from bombings
Yesterday they met a strong Ger
man motorized column near Pom
tarlier. The Germans fired at them
only long enough to force their way
through to the southwest towards
the SaOne Valley.

When your children are in school,
and your husband is at work. you
find little pleasure in eating a soli-
tary meal And when you are rushed
with household duties, you are apt
to grab quick sandwich, or a
steaming bowl of soup, and then
continue with the tasks that are still
before you.
But, you can take advantage of the
days when the family is away. and
the work all finished, to entertain
your friends at a one-o' clock lunch
con, a dessert luncheon for the
bridge club. or for just friendly
get-together. A good menu and an
attractive table will give you the
poise and enthusiasm necessary to
serve your guests easily and gra-
ciously.
Oftentimes the most easily pre-
pared food may be the most attrac-
lively served. A fiuted orange cup
makes a colorful container for many
fruits, which may be varied with
the season. The fruit must be cut
into pieces of convenient size, free
from seeds and skin, except for
grapes. 1t should be thoroughly
chilled and combined so that it is
neat arrangement. If few pieces
are crushed or wilted, the whole
concoction will look careless and I'M
appetizing. Remember, an appetiz-
er should not be too sweet, for as
the name implies, the first course
is intended to sharpen the appe-
tite.
For the rest of the menu you
might like to serve mock chicken
legs, baked potatoes, crisp green
salad, crescent rolls, and as an I'M
usual dessert, chocolate mint roll is
very good.

MOTHER COUNTRY SPAIN

-
If Spain, mother country of Latin
America, joins the axis group, she
will carry little sympathy Of the
Americas with her.. On the con-
trary, the countries south Of the
Rio Grande have strained relations
with Spain at present, and her en-
bracing the axis cause would not
win them in that direction.
The strain arose over what ap-
pears to be a trif1ing issue-the fate
of 10 men. When Franco marched
into Madrid during the Spanish civil
war, 10 Loyalists sought asylum in
the Chilean embassy there.
Chile has protected them ever
since, and has tried tosget them safe
conduct out of the country, offering
permanent residence in Chile. But
the relentless Franco wants the lives
of those 10 Loyalists, and he has re-
fused all requests in their behalf.
This issue is Of great Importance
for the Latins, who never know when
revolution may make life uncomfort-
able in their own capitals, or when
they might want to take refuge in
foreign embassy. Ts
Chile felt it SO keenly that she
permitted the breaking of Of diplo-
matte relations between Chile and
Spain rather than surrender the 10y
aists. In that action Chile has the
support Of most of her neighbors.
Cuba, for example, was consider
ing the possibility Of resuming nor
mai diplomatic relations with Spain.
Now. though Cuba Is sending Ores

tons win not be resumed at least
