JAPANESE WITHDRAW ULTIMATUM
SATISFACTORY SOLUTION EXPECTED Received Sept. 6, 1 a.m. TOKIO, Sept. 5. Those well informed in Government circles expect a satisfactory solution of the difficulties in IndoChina. Talk of a threatened Japanese occupation is “decidedly premature.” A message from Shanghai says it is authOTitatively reported from IndoChina that Japan has withdrawn her ultimatum and cancelled her plans to evacuate Japanese nations. It is believed that the action is prompted by French assurances that the demands will be acceptable when details are worked out. It is further reported that any Japanese invasion of Indo-China will be in defiance of Hitler’s desire to keep Indo-Ciiina intact. It is said that the Japanese, since ; the collapse of France, have been vainly awaiting Hitler’s “go ahead” in the Far East in return for past Japanese co-operation with the axis.
