The Japanese reply which was
presented to this government and
made public 10 the White House
last night, contended that the
recent troop movements in Indo-
China were mainly in the north
and were purely of "precaution-
airy" nature because of Chinese
troon movements opposite the
northern Indo-China border.
A last minute diplomatic and
military intelligence report 10
Washington late this afternoon
stated, the state department dis
closed, that Japan already has sent
total of $4,000 troops into Indo-
China and that japanese conveys
heavily escorted by units of the
japanese fleet have been seen off
the southern point of fndo-China,
speeding toward the Gulf of Siam.
The state department asserted
that of the total of 125000 Japa-
nese troops in the occupied Vichy
colony. it is estimated that $1,000
have already been landed in South
Indo-China opposite Thailand and
that there are an additional $4,000
