By Vichy Promises,
Hull Indicates
Secretary Waiting TO See
How Axis Threots to
Empire Are Net
BY GARNETT ID. HORNER.

The United States will remain
skepucal of Frances promises to de-
fend her colonial empire against
further Axis aggression until events
demonstrate effectiveness of the de-
clared French policy. Secretary Of
State Hull indicated today.
The Secretary disclosed at press
conference that he had received a
new note from the Vichy govern
ment, said in Vichy to inform this
Government in general terms that
France intends to defend her empire
in her own way. Mr.. Hull refused
to reveal any details of the note.
Asked if the French assurances
were satisfactory to this Govern
ment, Mr.. Hull said he would want
TO see further Just what is going on
and observe the general trend Of
French relations with the Axis be-
fore making a final answer to that
question.
Note Answer to Welles.
The Vichy note was considered an
answer to statement by Undersec-
retary of State Welles last Satur-
day, taking France to task for al
lowing Japan to establish bases in
French Indo-C China and warning
that the United States will be gov
erned in future relations with Vichy
and local authorities in French ter
ritories by the effectiveness with
which the territories are protected
from Axis domination.
Mr. Welles' statement also as
serted that this Government is i'm
PEELED to question" whether Vichy
''in' fact proposes to maintain its
declared policy to preserve French
territories for the French people.
Thailand Pledge Denied.
OF immediate concern to this
Government are indica tions that
Germany is putting pressure on
Vichy to gain rights in Dakar and
French North Africa. French re-
sistance to the German demands
apparently stiffened after the
United States attitude was made
clear over last week end.
Mr.. Hull disclaimed knowledge,
meanwhile, of any American offer to
give material aid to Thailand if
that country decides to resist re-
ported Japanese demands for bases
that would increase the Japanese
threat to American and British in
terests in the South Pacific.
Asked at his press conference
about published reports that Thai
land had been given assurances of
aid by this Government, the Sec
retary said he had not participated
in any discussions of that kind and
knew nothing about any such prom
ise.

the ship OF New England by naval
radio-tha first positive indication
this week of the Presidents where

sign that he is aware of the rumors.
