Continued From rage OnaA
it was to be supposed that Grant re-
stated the principles Of American
foreign policy embracing the status
quo in that area.
This conceded with the stopping of
a shipment of ten American-made
warplanes which had been sold to
Thailand, small Oriental country
which has been advancing territorial
claims against French Indo-China at
the same time that Japan was sending
military forces into that colony. Hull
would not discuss the possibility OF
a dangerous situation developing at
Shanghai or insistent rumors there
that Japanese forces were preparing
to seize control Of the whole inter-
national settlement.
Asked whether the American
Marine garrison at Shanghai might
be reinforced, Hull said only that all
phases of the situation there were
being watched.
