AGREEMENT REACHED.
CONTROL OF INDO-CHINA. (Rec. 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 22. China will undertake responsibility for the military administration of the northern zone of Indo-China, and the South-East Asia Command will control the substantially larger southern zone, says the Press Association’s diplomatic correspondent. This arrangement, which follows talks between Britain, America, China and France, is purely provisional, as France at the moment is not physically able to take over the territory. French military experts will possibly be attached to the staffs of both administrations. The duration of the military governments depends on the task to he done in disarming and expatriating the Japanese. After this the French civil administration will take charge.
