Interpreting
The News
By JAMES d. WHITE
Associated Press Staff Writer

Associated PRESS StaII WIAsCI
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 25.-(R
British troops, few French, and
a handful of Americans in Saigon,
French Indo-C China, find themselv-
es in the peculiar position OF team
ing I'D with remaining Japanese
forces to queu disturbances caused
by native Indo- Chinese who want
their independence.
There are many causes back OF
this situation, but one is the fact
that there are not enough French
forces in the colony to do the job.
Some are on the way, but shipping
shirtages hold them up.
Here is some of the background:
France gained protectorate
over Indo-China through war OF
conquest against China late in the
last century. The five kingdoms Of
Tonkin, Laos, AMMAN, Cambodia
and Cochin-China had previously
paid tribute to China.
: On the little south China PENN
sula of Kwangchowan the French
also had tiny colony around Fort
Bayard, but they gave this back
to China recently.
The five big colonies on the In
do-China peninsula comprise an
area bigger than Texas, inhabited
by about 100000 people, and
normally export much rice, rubber,
high-grade coal, spices and tin.
About 10000 French ran the coun-
try under a union which acknowl
edged France as protector.
After France fell in 1910 the Japa-
nese, who had been drooling over
this rich tropic storehouse of rice
and strategic materials, walked in.
Vichy France appointed a new
Governor General, Vice-Admiral
Jean Decoux, who tried to resist
Japanese demands and finally in
vasion. But after bloody losses and
otter it became obvious no help
was arriving, he agreed to Japa-
nese occupation.
Japan was to furnish consumer
goods in return for raw materials.
Tokyo took the raw materials, but
no consumer goods arrived. The
Japanese plundered the country
economically with their usual
thoroughness.
1t was not until last March that
the japanese formally took over
the administration, and by then
the colony was in bad shape. There
was no shipping, and the single l.
meter rail line that runs the length
OF the country was kept out of
commission by American planes.
People starved in one of Asia's
biggest rice bowls.
The Japanese declared French
sovereignty ended and made the
= usual promises of independence, all
the while fighting French and ma
tive guerrillas in the northern
kingdoms Of Laos and Tonkin. In
the south, Cambodia and AMMAN
formally threw off their French
protectorate, and Cochin China de.
clared itself Independent.
The political movement back of
the disturbance today, in the big
Cochin-China city of Saigon, goes
by the name of Vietmin. It is only
one OF the confused independence

TAX-CUT MOWER
OILED FOR TRIAL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-(R)-
The peacetime 3ax-cutting mower
was oiled today for its first trial
run.
It may:
l. Clip 100000 !ow-income
persons from the tax rolls.
2. Cut the total income tax bill
Of individuals by $4,000, 900, 900 or
more.
8. Eliminate or sharply reduce
the wartime 95 per cent corpora
ton excess profits tax.
Chairman Doughton (D-NC) an.
nounced the House Ways and
Means committee will begin its
first peacetime tax work tomor-
row. Nov. / is the deadline for
reducing levies on 1916 Individual
and corporate income.
Because it's in a hurry, the com.
mittee, which originates all tax
legislation, probably won't hold
public hearings. Treasury Secre-
tary Fred M. Vinson probably will
submit the administration tax
ideas in executive session or
Thursday.
The committee today shelved
all proposals for liberalization Of
unemployment compensation. This
and the inquiry into Elliott Roose
velt's financial affairs had stood
in the way of tax considerations

But it is not the way Of subject

Since French forces could not
get there, British troops occupied
the southern half Of the country,
while Chinese forces came into the
north from Yunnan.
Right now the Allies are concern
ed with law and order. It remains
for France, herself conquered

StlmSOn Diary
Investigation

, WASHINGTON up Sen. Ho-
mer Ferguson, f., Mich, disclosed
Saturday that he had asked the
counsel for the Pearl Harbor inves-
tigating committee to let him exam
inc the diary kept by former Sec
rotary of War Henry L. Stimson.
Stimson headed the War Depart
ment from June, 1910, until this
September. His diary contains
notes on conferences in which he
participated just before Pearl Har-
Dor.
Ferguson said the request was
made 10 days ago but he had re-
ceived no reply Of any kind from
the counsel, William D. Mitchell.
THE army report On Pearl Har-
Dor quoted excerpts from Secretary
Stimson's dairy Ferguson said, so
! assume the diary is on official
matters and is more or less a public
document by now. 1 see no reason
why committee members should not
be permitted to examine the diary
before committee hearings begin.
But this is just what we have
been battling against. We want the
machinery to make things move"
Sen. Alben w. Barley, D., KY,
chairman Of the Pearl Harbor in
vestigating committee, challenged
statements by Ferguson and Sen.
