British BefttIe

BY MERRILL MUELLER
Init News Service stan Correspondent


LONDON, July 24.-British mil
itary authorities said today they
do not regard japanese troop
movements and dispositions in
French Indo-China as a threat .
Britain's great naval base at Sing
apore.
Nevertheless. il was believed the
British admiralty and foreign office
will take a far stronger view of
Far Eastern developments.
DRAFT NOTES
This opinion gained ground in
view of the fact that the admiralty
is preparing a statement on the
subject and the foreign office is
drafting two notes, one for Vichy
and the other for Toxic.
Britain is expected to appeal to
the United States for economic as
sistance to cope with the situation
in the Orient.
Reports that Vichy has thrown
open Indo-China's strategic bases
TO Japan did not surprise authori-
tative British circles. But they
contended that Vichy's invitation
10 the Axis powers 10 take over
her Dor" mean that-Erance- will
lose her whole empire anG retain
her honor. such as il is"
They said the only course open
to Britain Is 10 apply economic
sanctions ito which JaDan is par
ticularly vulnerable" They de-
clared, however, such sanctions
can be applied only if the United
States takes parallel action.
ASSAILS VICHY
Since both the London and
Washington governments have
been in frequent consultation on
the Far Eastern situation. IL was
expected in London that some joint
official declaration may soon be
forthcoming.
One political spokesman COM
mented:
There seems to be no limit
To the humiliation To which
Nichy Is prepared TO submit In
pursuit of this policy Of collabo-
ration.

Other British circles were quick
to emphasize that the American
Philippine base is under the same
potential bombing threat as Singa-
pore.
These spokesman said the Brit
ish and American navies face
embarrassment" if there is a Japa-
nese naval station at Kamranh
