PLAN DISCLAIMED BY JAPAN
Thailand Defence Pact
(Received August 7,12.20 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 6.
The Tokio correspondent of the “New York Times” reports that the official Japanese standpoint was explained today by the Cabinet bureau spokesman, Mr. Ishii, who disclaimed any Japanese desire for a joint defence agreement with Thailand analogous to Vichy’s agreement over IndoChina. All Japan wanted was close economic co-operation with Thailand in which the baht might be linked with the yen.
• As for the Japanese troop movements, Mr. Ishii said, they were designed to occupy strongpoints in the country for adequate defence and nothing more.
