French Will Oppose
International Rule
I0f All Colonies
BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, April 7.-French delegates
to the proposed Big Five conference
on colonial trusteeship have been
instructed emphatically to oppose
any suggestion for placing all COL
onies under tional control,
circles close to the foreign Office in
dicated today.
The position was reported clearly
stated in a communication sent by
the Council of Ministers to Paul
Emile Magyar, Frances alternate
delegate to the San Francisco World
Security Conference.
The United States suggested this
week that representatives Of the
United States, Britain, Russia, China
and France meet at Washington two
weeks before the April 25 San Fran
cisco meeting to work out an agree
ment on mandates.
Discussions Speculated.
There is widespread belief here
that the Washington session may
produce American proposals to es-
tablish an international admins
tration for the colonial empires.
Presumably, the conference will
confne itself to a discussion of the
former League of Nations mandates
and questions of supervising fac
tories Wrested from the Nazis. An
example of the mandate problem is
that posed by the Marshall Islands
in the Pacific.
The French see no difficulties on
such points.
But they seem extremely worried
over the possibility that the pro-
posed trustee system might be eX-
tended to include colonies, espe-
cially in the Orient, which belonged
to France, Holland and Britain and
have since been overrun by the
japanese.
French Indo-China is the focal
point of this disquiet.
Vichy virtually handed over this
big colony to Japan three months
before Pearl HarbOr, granting Tok-
vo permission to station a large
army there and providing full mill
tarv and naval facilities. Later ia
pan unilaterally announced 1ndo-
China had been incorporated Tor
mally into the japanese Southeast
Asia sphere.
Philippines Included.
The remainder Of that sphere IN
cluded the Philippines, Malaga
Burma and The Netherlands Indies
conquered and occupied
The situation respecting 1ndo-Chlna
is different in that 1t technically
was enemy country from the be-
ginning of the war in the Pacific.
Gen. de Gaulle's government ma
turally never has recognized either
the agreement that permitted ia
pan to make a military base OF
Indo-China or Tokyos alteration
of that country's status.
Conversely, the government II
numerous recent statements ha!
announced plans for bringing Indo'
China into the French union after
the war with a much greater de-
gree of autonomy This program
stipulates organization of the gov
ernment of Indo-China with a
French advisory council and the
sending of Indo-Chinese represent
atives to Paris.
Great emphasis Is now being
placed on the present fighting be-
tween French resistance groups and
the japanese.
