LONDON, July rs. (UP)-Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden told the
house of commons today that Brit
ain regards Japan's intention to
occupy French Indo-China as
potential threat to British territory
and interests in the Far East and
has taken certain defense measures
in Malaga and Singapore.
Eden said that Japanese occupa-
ton of the French territory is i'm
minent and that these actions by
Tokyo are regarded as new ag-
gression.'
He said that the japanese action
was premeditated and that British
action in strengthening her Far
Eastern position had been taken in
closest collaboration with the United
States, the dominions and the Meth
erlandS.
He called the definition of Amer
lean position by Acting Secretary
of State Sumner Welles salutary and
most welcome.
Eden said in reply to a question
that Britain's defense measures in
the Far East already have been un-
dertaken but that he did not desire
to announce their nature since they
concern other governments as well
an obvious reference to the United
States.
Eden said that he was unable to
say whether joint declaration could
be made by Britain, the dominions,
the United States, the Dutch East
Indies and China that they would
tolerate no further japanese ag-
gression nor would he say whether
he thought such a declaration would

There has been no German claim
of any specific regional gains for
more than a week. The last such
claim was to the capture OF Smo-
lensk. Reports this week from both
Russian and German sources have
indicated the key city on the high
way TO Moscow 235 miles away still
is in Soviet possession.
Nazi propagandists hinted Friday
that the Luftwaffe may launch an
all-out attack on Leningrad, Mos
COW and Kiev because of indications
that the Russians will not surrender
the cities without a street, -by-street
and house-by- fight.
The German air force raided Mos
COW Thursday night for the fourth
successive night, but the attack
apparently was small scale.
The Royal air force was proceed
ing with its unprecedented air at
tack upon the continent. 1t followed
up Thursdays daylight raids, pos
sibly the heaviest ever undertaken
by the British in daylight hours,
with a big night attack upon the
German naval bases of Emden and
Kiel.
The British admitted the loss
of IS bombers and seven fighters
in yesterdays operations but claim
ed that 30 Nazi fighters were de-
stroyed.
