United States Will Not Use Armed Force Unless to
 Save Philippines
COMBINE OF NATIONS
 COULD WRECK JAPAN
Two Years Attempts to Ap- pease Japs Has Ended
 in United States
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

 Washington, July 25. - (UP) - Prediction by one senator that the United States Navy and Air Force would help defend the Dutch East Indies against Japan were offset today by insist ence of others that reprisals for aggression would be linn ited to the field of economics.
 A senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told the United Press this country would not be likely to use force against Japan except to check a direct thrust at the Philippine Islands. He insisted that we lack adequate bases near the East Indies to support naval action against Japan and said the British do not have enough force in the Far East to be of suffi- cient assistance. Neither senator would permit his name to be used.
 The senator who forecast armed American intervention in event oi a Japanese move to the Dutch East Indies said that the Army and Navy have studied the Far Eastern situ- ation and are fully confident" oi their ability to defeat Japan in any conflict. He added that this coun- try "could not tolerate from an economic or strategic standpoint" Japanese occupation of the East Indies.
 High Army and Navy officials have estimated that 250 heavy Amer ican bombers based at Vladivostok could utterly devastate" every major Japanese City, this source said. He pointed out that Japanese cities, which have never been bombed, are flat and completely defenseless" from air attack.
 Could Wreck Japan
 "A combination of the United States, Russia, Netherlands East Indies and Britain would absolutely insure @ walkaway as far as any conflict with Japan is concerned our military and naval officials tell me-" the senator said.
 American intervention in the event of a Japanese occupation of the East Indies, this senator said, would be based upon strategic and economic factors. From the latter stand point, he said, this nation is almost completely dependent upon the 1n- dies for rubber and obtains large share of Its tin there.
 From the strategic standpoint, Japanese occupation of the East 1n- dies would place them in an excel lent position for an attack upon the Philippines" he said. The Philippines would be completely en- circled as far as land bases go.
 "Unless this nation decides to abandon the Philippines, it could not tolerate Japanese domination of the East Indies"
 Simultaneous economic action against Japan by the United States Great Britain and possibly Austra-

Initial American Move Against Japan May Be
 Expected Tomorrow EXPERTS POINT OUT
 DANGER FOR JAPANESE German Controlled Paris Press, Begins at Once
 More Propaganda
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Japan's move into French Indo-C China today appeared to be heading Britain, the United States, Russia and China toward a stronger com mon front in the Far East Washington took a strong line toward the latest movs by Tokyo to jangle Axis alarm bells in the Pacific. Britain called 1t threat to Malaya and Sing- apore. Russia prepared to dispatch military mission from London to Washington.
 The Far Eastern crisis over, shadowed the titAntic battle on Rus. sia's western front and the skye rocketing royal air force offensive against occupied Europe. Russian lines seemed to be hold ing firm against massive NaH break through attempts toward Leningrad, Kiev and Moscow. A fourth Ger man night air attack on Moscow apparently was beaten off by Soviet defenses.
 President Roosevelt hinted strong. 1 ly that Japan's latest move had brought to 8 dead halt what he called policy of "appeasing" Tokyo in the South Pacific.
 American Move Saturday
 The initial American move against Japan, the President revealed, may- be expected tomorrow. He indi- cated strongly that 1t will be an order freezing Japanese assets in the United States.
 There was every evidence that the anti.Japan program was pre-. ceeding with close consultation be- tween the major interested pow CTS.
 This collaboration was shown most fully in London. Foreign Secre- tary Anthony Eden made 6 formal statement denouncing the Japanese move as 6 threat to British inter- ests and said defense precautions had been taken. The Soviet Am- bassador, Ivan Maisky, conferred with John c. Winant, U. s. AIn- bassador and Harry L. Hopkins, later Eden met with Maisky and Wellington Koo, Chinese ambassa- dor.
 It was revealed that Russia is sending to the United Staes mill. tary mission.
 The mission will be headed by Lieut.. Gen. Filip I. Golikov, top member of the mission which Mos COW dispatched to London in1medi. ately after outbreak of the Russo German war.
 It was presumed arrangements are being discussed for coordination of moves to halt Japanese expansion in the Far East with the drive against Germany in the west.
 In Washington talk was heard of the terrific striking power which, could be wielded against Japan by 250 heavy U. s. bombers based on Russia's Siberian port of Vladivostok within easy flying distance of the inf1ammable and crowded Japanese cities.

Freezing Of Japanese Assets Totals Up To $7OO,OOO, ,OOO Of Frozen Axis Credits

The administration policy of block ing assets of aggressor and con- quered nations began April 8. lezO. with Norway and Denmark and reached a peak last month when President Roosevelt froze the assets of all of Continental Europe.

Nazi, Soviet Reports
GERMANY

BY JOSEPH w. GREGG JR. United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Berlin, July 25-(UP)-The Ger man high command reported today that the NaN Luftwaffe has again attacked military oojectives in Mos- COW, particularly in the eastern quarter of the Soviet capital and north of the Kremlin, seat of the Russian government.
 The offlcial communique admitted that severe fighting" is going for- ward at some sectors of the Russian front but insisted that despite fierce Soviet resistance, operations con- tinue to proceed according to plan.
 The high command claimed that great numbers of prisoners are being rounded up each day by Ger man forces and that large quanti- ties of war materials are being taken.
 The high command said that last nights attack on Moscow was car- ried out by individual German bombers," apparently indicating that the raid was not so heavy as previous attacks and presumably was directed against selected oh- jectives.
 Repeated Attacks
 German sources said that Nazi bombing formations had carried out repeated attacks on Odessa, scoring direct hits on the harbor works ot that important Black Sea port and hitting a Soviet anti-aircraft cruis- CT in the harbor.
 It was reported that 92 Russian planes were destroyed in operations yesterday, 62 in air battles and 90 on the ground. Na1 plane losses were put at eight planes.
 It was said that Russian cities containing many wooden houses were especially vulnerable to air. plane attack, and the informantS expressed the belief that the Ger man armies would use "WarsaV tactics" if Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev are not surrendered.
 These tactics are to bomb a de- tended city without respite or mercy

 MT. Roosevelt, commenting on Wheeler's activities, said he agreed with the headings appearing above editorials on the senator which ap- peared this morning in the New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune. They were en- titled, he said, "on Dangerous Ground" and MT. Wheeler Goes Too Far"
 That endorsement of the titles, MT. Roosevelt said, covers the sit- uation, implying that in the en- dorsement, he had stated his case. He made no move to modify or temper Stimson's charges.
 MT. Roosevelt re-entered the ad- ministration battle with Wheeler on his own initiative. He brought
