japan to Be Mediator,
He Tells Lions Club
In Tracing Dispute

Settlement of the Thailand-
French Indo China controversy
sometime next month" with japan
in the role of mediator, was fore
cast yesterday by M. r. Semi Pramoj,
Thai Minister.
The Minister told luncheon
meeting of the Lions Club OF
Washington at the Mayf1ower Hotel
he understood both sides had agreed
to accept Japanese mediation, but
that he had no idea what the out
come would be-
He declined to comment on pos
Sible japanese aims in Thailand,
confining his talk to review of
events leading up to the conflict.
France, he declared, had been the
aggressor, making an attack on
Thailand at time when the latter
people were expecting negotiations
begun in August of 1899 to bear
fruit.
Land Of Little Value.
The dispute concerned two "al-
most worthless" strips of land on
the right bank OF the Mekong River
as far as his country was concerned.
the diplomat said. He declared that
the disputed territory represented
only about one-eighth Of the terri
tory ceded to France in the latter
part OF the 18th century.
French force of arms. he said,
had resulted in Thailand ceding
4SO, 900 square kilometers of terri
tory, leaving a total of only $4,000
in the entire country. Besides
giving up almost half our country"
he added. 1--WE had to pay an idem-
nifty Of 5000 900 francs"
Claims Nothing New"
The Thai Minister said his coun-
try'S claims were nothing new"
and explained that a conviction
engendered among his countrymen
by the fall Of France that Indo-
China was going to blow up" had
made more pressing their desire
to establish a natural boundary.
He said he hoped, however, that

IF that tax doesn't cover the bill,
I guess we'll just be taxed some

The fastest method of convert

preachers and lecturers could do, is
to have to give half of the money

added.
Miss Holmes, who started in her
career as a typist, is joint manag-

director of three other banks.
Another passenger Arthur r.
Lardln Of st. Louis, an attache of

The difficulty concerned the fact
that 1 had no Portuguese visa

on the part of the officials" he said
His suitcase, he added, contained
military secrets which he would de-
liver shortly to the State Depart
ment.
He said he was in Jail for about 30

Mr.. Bush was on the stand yester-

Mr.. Lefebvre. organist and choir

American EnIistments
In British Service
Win Official Approval
President Specifically
Indorses Volunteering
For Plane Locator Work

! American enliStmentS in the Serv-
ice of foreign belligerents, in either
combatant or non combatant roles,
bore official approval today, ex-
pressed by President Roosevelt at a
press conference yesterday after
noon.
Most specifically, Mr.. Roosevelt's S
favor was extended to the idea of
American civilian technical experts
volunteering for service in the new
British Civilian Technical Corps.
This organization was established
recently for Servicing and operating
defense devices, particularly the new
radio plane locators, and a call for
American mechanics was issued by
British officials.
Would Help in U. S. Defense.
1t Is the attitude of mis- Govern
ment, it was disclosed by the Presi-
dent. that service in this new corps
would not only be of assistance to
British defense but also would pro-
vide valuable training for Ameri-
cans. In event of need here. it is
understood that the volunteers would
be sent back to the United States at
once.
Actually, Mr.. Roosevelt broadened
MS Endorsement of foreign enlist
mentS to point where it could be
interpreted as encouraging service
IN combat forces opposing the Axis.
When asked if volunteering for
the technical corps conf1icted with
the neutrality law. the President
pointed out that American youths
may enlist in any type of foreign
service provided they do not take
an oath of allegiance to a foreign
government
Britain Doesn't Require Oath.
AT the present time, he added.
Britain is not requiring such an
oath-so If Americans wish to 90 to
Canada or England to join the fight
ing forces they are within their
rights.
AS announced at the British EN-
baSSy, volunteers for the Civilian
Technical Corps would be indicted
Tor a period of three years unless
the war should end sooner. They
would be paid S2412 weekly as basic
workers or $3865 as foremen and
supplied with food, lodging and uni
forms. They would in no way be
subject to military discipline. They
would be provided with transporta-
ton to England and transportation
home when the need for their serv-
ices ended.
