 Kurusu told the reporters he thought there was still fighting chance" of success being reached in settlement of the American-Jap- anese problems and: T do not give up so easily"
 Tension Increases
 With the tension in the Far East at the explosion point, 1t is positively said the United States is standing firm in refusing to accede to Japan's demands for a new order" in Asia as the price of peace on the Pacific.
 On top of this situation, the Brit ish Admiralty is reported to have ordered all British China coast ship- ping to proceed immediately to the British port of Hongkong where British warships and marines are concentrated.
 Delay of Three Days Premier Tojo's Japanese Cabinet today devoted long extraordinary session to going thoroughly into and studying Washington's note on the Pacific problems and demands made on the Nippon Government through the negotiations now conducted in Washington.
 Sources close to the Japanese Government said any crisis in the Washington talks will probably be delayed three days or more since the Japanese are seeking "clarification' of various points in Secretary Huil's note giving the American position on Pacific problems. State of Emergency Today, Tokyo newspapers splashed dispatches all over the first pages describing the gathering of forces of America and Great Britain in the Dutch East Indies and the South Pacific.

 In the late afternoon Japanese dispatches no mention is made of Nippon's vast preparations for trouble in the French Indo-China area although it is known that perhaps 60,000 Japanese troops and navy vessels are massed ready for action.

BULLETIN-WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-President Roosevelt, at a conference this afternoon with the newsmen, disclosed the Am erican government had inquired from Japan what the purpose is of increasing her armed forces in French Indo- China and he indicated clearly that a satis- factory answer is essential to the successful conclusion of nego- tiations between the United States and Japan in looking for peace in the whole Pacific area.
 The President indicated too that some progress was made in discussions with the Japanese envoys up to the point when he learned Japan was augmenting her land, air and naval forces stationed in French Indo- China.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-It isn't discussed publicly but I can as- sure you that the government IS out to build some buildings so they WON'T last
 These are the temporary build ings, designed to take care of the vast overflow of government work CTS now here to see that the na- tional defense program moves con- stantly forward.
 This idea of constructing tenn porary buildings so they will be temporary and nothing more IS not the whim of any contractor out to make a pot of dough off the Government. It comes right down from MT. Roosevelt himself. As a matter of fact. the plan of build ing temporary office buildings so they will fall down about the time the emergency is over isn't some thing that the President has just thought up for the present emer- gency, either. He has had that idea for nearly a quarter of century
