Sunday Deadline For French
to Permit laps TO
Establish Bases
REPERCUSSl0NS IN
AMERICA CONCEDED
Germans Continue Daylight
Raids on British
Isles
BY Joe Alex Morris

Europe's war threatened major
Far Eastern repercussions-involv.
ing the United States-for the first
time today as Japan was reported
to have delivered an ultimatum on
French IndoChira coincident with
renewal OF mass German daylight
attacks on Great Britain.
The French Indo-China situation
moved toward critical stage with
reports that Japan was prepared
to face "a major crisis" with tho
United States.
Japan, according to reports
reaching Shanghai, has set time
limit OF Sunday for French acquies-
cence In providing the Japanese
navy and alrforce with permanent
bases in French lndo-China.
II was said that Tokyo felt GER
tain that the French would give In
but that in any event irreyocable
decisions had been taken by an
imperial conference that japan Is

pansion in the South Pacific. In
this program. it was reported. both
lndo-China and the Netherlands
East Indies have a major role.
coneede Repercusslons
The possibility that the pro-
gram would stir repercussions In
the United States was said to
have been conceded In Tokyo. Sug
gestlons circulated that American
embargoes may be placed against
Japan II she goes through with
the program.
Japanese residents OF. Indo-China
were being evacuated.
The ultimatum was said to have
been delivered after French Of
fcials had reached virtual agree
ment on previous but less far
reaching demands.
What the reaction OF the Vichy
government would be to the new
developments was not known. A
possible indication was seen in the
statement Thursday OF Foreign
Minister Paul Baudouin that
France had been forced to yield
in the Far East because OF failure
OF the United States to back up
the French position with force.
Daylight Clash
In Europe the battle OF Britain
again had become daylight clash
OF masses OF British and German
planes. The weather was report.
ed good from the English Channel
and by mid day more than 200 raid
ers had crossed over to Britain.
some flying from the direction OF
Belgium.
Royal Air Force fighters had
taken the air before the first Ger
man squadrons appeared and
swooped down time and again TO
drive them back toward the sea.
Limited Activity
The air action followed a night
OF limited German air activity in
which bombs were dropped largely
at random over the London area
and in many other parts OF Britain,
including Lancashire, Essex, Sur.
rey. Berkshire. Kent, the Mid
lands and south western regions.
II was revealed that Westmins-
ter Cathedral was the latest famed
British landmark to suffer bomb
damage.
