Japanese to Respect
Territorial Integrity
By A. T. STEELE,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
HANOI, Indo-China. Sept. ia
solemn declaration by the japanese
government of its intention fully to
respect the sovereignty and terri
torial integrity of French IndC-
China is feature of the Franco
Japanese covenant under negotia-
tions here. The French are insist
ing on such pledge in return for
military facilities that the Japanese
are demanding in Northeastern In
do-China, and it is understood that
the japanese have agreed.
1t is conceded that this public
promise probably would be worth no
more than others of like nature that
the japanese Army so wantonly
disregarded in Manchuria and
China. But the French are hope
full that it will at least serve to de-
lay the japanese in extending their
operations outside the segment OF
the country in which they demand
the right to establish aerial and
military bases and to transship
troops.
Prepared to Defend the Rest.
What encourages the French to
hope that japanese inroads can
thus be delimited is the belief that
the japanese at present are unable
and unwilling to spare large forces
for extended military operations in
Indo-China and that continued
American pressure may restrain the
Japanese from going completely
berserk until and unless the world
situation clarifies in their favor.
The region in which japanese
penetration will be allowed, if the
negotiators agree, comprises ter
ritory northward from the Red River
about one-eighth of the total area
of Indo-China. The French claim
that no deeper japanese incursions
will be tolerated and that they are
prepared to defend the rest of the
country with their lives.

Citizens in |ndo-China
Beginning Tomorrow
Even Diplomatic Agents
To Go Before Arrival
Of Armed Forces

BY the Associated Press.
HANOI, French Indo-China, Sept.
ia Japanese spokesman an
nounced today that all Japanese
civilian nationals in Indo-China, in
cluding diplomatic representatives,
would be removed by special train
and boat, starting tomorrow. in ad-
vance .of the prospective arrival of
Japanese armed forces
Japan has been granted limited
military facilities in this French
colony for operations against the
central Chinese government
The detailed means of putting the
Toxic -Vichy agreement into effect
are still subject to negotiation-ap-
parently amicable-but the French
are perturbed at the determination
of Japan to remove her nationals.
The Japanese Counsul at Hanoi,
Rokuro Suzuki, his staff, members
of the Nishihara mission and news
papermen planned to leave tomorrow
to lessen the possibility of 'unfor-
tunate incidents" as the Japanese
spokesman expressed it.
Suzuki arranged for special
train to carry the japanese to Hal
phong, where japanese vessels are
expected to move them to the is
land of Hainan or Canton, both
Japanese-occupied parts of China.

Don't Judge France
Too HorshIy Official Asks

VICHY, France, Sept. 10 (P).-
Foreign Minister Paul Baudoin said
today France is all alone" in the
Far East and should not be judged
too harshly if her decisions in Indo-
China. where she has had to yield
to japanese demands, are not pleas
ing to the Western world"
In statement to American news
paper correspondents the Foreign
Minister said France had been
given to understand no real sup
port could be given her by the
United States should the japanese
attack Indo-China.
He stressed the fact that the
French military power in the Far
East cannot be compared with that
of a first-class nation like Japan,
which France now recognizes as the
first Asiatic power.
The Vichy government has con-
sented to limited facilities in
do-China for japanese military
forces. which presumably will be
used for a thrust into China.
