Demanded by Japanese

TOXIC, Jan. 18 (P.-The inf1uen-
tial newspaper Nichi Nichi called
today for Japanese action to rescue
the natives of Indo-China" from
French rule and expressed growing
Japanese impatience over the slow
course of negotiations for an eco
nomic pact with Indo-China.
"1nseparable relations exist be-
tween the Greater East Asia sphere
OF co-prosperity Japan's projected
Asia-East Indies bloc and the re-
lease from oppression of races living
IN Southern ASIA declared Nichi
Nichi.
This principle applies to Indo-
China, where 100000 natives are
ruled by 10000 Frenchmen.
Again we emphasize the need of
. speedy conclusion of the economic
negotiations.
AT the same time Japan must
carry out measures to rescue the
natives of Indo-China and enable
them to enjoy their heaven ordained
happiness"
The negotiations began in earnest
January 6, with Rene Robin, spe-
cialy dispatched from Vichy, and
Hajime Matsumiya. holding ambas-
sadorial rank. heading the delega-
tions. Several experts from France
and 1ndo-China are assisting Robin.

Women S Federation
Considers Plans for
Spring Convention ,
Directors Support Aid /
To Nations Fighting B
1otuIiturion Powers

Directors Of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs today dis
cussed plans for the organizations
golden jubilee triennial convention
next spring in Atlantic City at the
concluding session of five-day
board meeting at the Mayf1ower
Hotel.
After hearing national defense
discussed from many angles, the di-
rectors went on record yesterday as
approving a policy of aid. in the
form of credit, ships, munitions and
materials Of war, for those nations
fighting to preserve their independ-
ence against the threat Of totalitari-
anism.
Whether the women debated the
proposed lease-lend bill was not dis
closed, as action was taken in a
closed session. 1t was pointed out,
however, that aid to Britain has
been accepted as necessary and wise
by leaders of both major political
parties.
'NO Doubt" of Axis Aims.
"Pepeated declarations of intent
to destroy democracy everywhere
leave no doubt as to the purpose of
the axis powers to impose a totali-
tartan system on the world" the
resolution stated. The treaty of
military assistance entered into by
Germany, Italy and Japan makes
1t impossible to ignore the threat
Of the axis policy in the Pacific and
the proximity of Africa to the South
American continent"
The board also voted to request
the National Defense Advisory Com
mission to outline "as early as pos
sible" program for participation OF
women in national defense. 1t
further requested that a group of
women. including representatives
from the federation. be appointed to
assist in developing and promoting
such a program.
About q dozen Of the directors
who are serving on defense councils
in their States met with DR.. Caro-
line Ware Of the consumer division
of the Defense Commission at
luncheon yesterday to exchange
ideas.
Received by Miss Perkins.
! Later, in a tour of the Labor De-
partment, the board was received
by Secretary Perkins who said It was
her conception that labor welfare
must be promoted within the general
welfare"
Research conducted under her ad-
ministration made it possible for the
! department to issue a bulletin on
the prevention Of occupational dis
eases and industrial accidents with
in a month after the defense pro-
gram was launched, Miss Perkins
| said.
The information is of especial
value in the control Of numerous ac-
cidents occurring while new people
engaged on defense projects are still
awkward at their tasks, she pointed
out.
Board members held "frolic" last
night at the Arts Club after the
Prince of Peace Players had pre-
sented the story-drama by Minnie
Frost Rands. drama chairman of
the District Federation Of Women's
Clubs.

Ford Plant Explosion
Starts Sabotage Probe
By the Associate Press.

8y the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 18-An oil tank
exploded at the Ford Motor CO. s
big Rouge plant yesterday and in
vestigators for the Department of
Justice sought Immediately to de-
termine whether saboteurs were re-
sponsible.
Fire following the blast cast up
. great smoke cloud and threatened
adjacent oil tanks. The suburban
Dearborn fire department and the
company's own fire crew quickly
extinguished the blaze.
Officials said no one was injured
and employees reported damage was
not great. One theory was that
a spark from a coke plant might
have caused the explosion. The
exploded tank, approximately the
size of railway tank car. was in
the coal byproducts division Of the
plant.
