France Turns Down
Japan's S Proposal for
Cession 10 ThaiIand
Government Is Declared
Ready to Let Fighting
In Far East Resume
Rv the AssocIated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VICHY, France, Feb. 22.-France
rejected today Japanese-spon-
sored proposal which reliable in
formants said was demand that
approximately one-third of the
Western Indo-China provinces Of
Laos and Cambodia be geded to
Thailand CSiaml.
Informed sources. in the midst of
Far Eastern tension Of which Indo-
China-'Thai dispute is only a neb-
ulous segment said the government
had decided it would prefer to let
border hostilities be resumed rather
than accept peace terms so severe.
The armistice between Thailand
and French Indo-China expires
next Tuesday. but there are some
hopes that a settlement will be
reached by then.
Some observers believe the stiff
attitude in the Far East of both
Britain and the United States will
cause Japan to change her position
in supporting Thailand.
For the present, however, there
are reports here of japanese war
ships anchoring at Thailand ports
and of at least 80 japanese planes
on Thailand airdromes. Japanese
warships also have tied up at Saigon
and there are japanese bombers at
the Saigon airport, IN addition TO
those which are based by agreement
with the French in Northern Indo-
ChinaD
French -Indo-C China and Thailand
ended their sporadic warfare with
an armistice signed on January 81
abroad a japanese cruiser. Japanese
mediation of the dispute began
shortly thereafter in Toxic, but it
begged down.
japanese radio advices indicated
the French rejection of the
Thailand demands followed a meet
ing of the supreme council of war
of Indo-China which, in the Japa-
nese view, discussed whether to CO.
operate with Japan or to align the
colony with anglo American
powers"
The Thai demands are generally
considered to be connected with
Japan's own plans for expansion
southwark. Travellers arriving in
Shanghai Saturday from Saigon,
French Indo-China, said foreigners
there we're convinced that Japan
is preparing to strike at the Neither
land Indies soon with Saigon as a
sea base.
