for the second major speech of his

The Republican presidential NOM

"One of the basic differences be-
tween the doctrines preached by
Franklin D. Roosevelt and myself
is that Mr.. Roosevelt thinks the
building of defense depends pri-

tant to build up domestic economy"
Mr.. Willkie said he would DEM
onStrate during the campaign that
an adequate defense could not be
built under the Roosevelt admins
tration.
Franklin D. Roosevelt" he con-
tinued, has contributed greatly to
the collapse of democracy in the
world by failing to build a strong
economy in America"

|ndo-China Expected
To Receive Japan's
Armed Forces Soon
French Officials at Hanoi
Admit Accord Is Likely
Within Few Days
e. the Associated Press.

HANOI, French Indo-China, Sept.
l6.-Authoritative French. Japanese
and other foreign sources expressed
belief that early developments may
bring the japanese Army into this
French possession, probably without
any resistance from the French.
But this, they said, may prompt
China to send her armies across the
colonial frontier and lead to a COIL
f1ict that would mean the beginning
of the end of Frances 60-year-
domination of this 230, 900 square
mile area in Eastern Asia.
French sources said an Indo-C China
mission had been sent to the United
States early in July. but had failed
to obtain 200 war-planes and other
material they sought. These sources
said the mission also had failed to
persuade the United States tc divert
planes from the Philippines for i'm
mediate use in Indo-China.
The feeling Is widespread that
only the United States might deter
Japan, but authoritative sources said
fear here Of arousing Japanese feel
ingS has kept Indo-China authorities
from making any appeal to Wash
ington.
French officials refused to talk
for publication. But privately they
admit that negotiations under way
here are most likely TO result within
a few days in an agreement-which
Toxic and Vichy already have sane
toned in principie-permittin the
japanese Army to land and supply
possibly $4,000 troops.
Military experts expressed belief
that the japanese would start
promptly to move in men seasoned
in tropical conditions.
The Japanese demands for mill
tary facilities and expected French
acquiescence are based on the as
sumption they are necessary to
Japan's prosecution of her war with
China. French officials, however,
express fear that Japan's real pur-
pose is to secure a foothold in Indo-
CllIld as tIle IlTSC ma JOr move OF
her long-heralded southwark ex-
pansion.
Chinese representatives here also
say they are convinced that the ex-
pected penetration Is aimed at
China only secondarily. But they
say China will carry out her de-
clared intention to cross the colony S
frontier as soon as Japanese troops
enter, no matter under what pre-
text.
Most French opinion here is
agreed that the colonial administra-
ton stuck with the Vichy govern
ment partly because of the hope that
Vichy could persuade Germany to
soften Japan's ambitions.
Vichy's failure so far has deepened
popular interest in Gen. Charles de
Gaulle. rallying point for French
men still fighting with Britain, but
lack of leadership has kept this
from developing into movement.
