INTERESTS IN INDO-CHINA FRENCH POWERS LIMITED MAINTENANCE OF PEACE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 7, 3.15 p.m.) TOKIO, August 6 Prominence is given to a Berlin dispatch headed “Freedom of IndoChina Not Permitted.” The dispatch said Germany is giving “some consideration” to Japan’s predominant position in the Far East and Indo-China. It is statecj officially: “The IndoChina issue should be disposed of after the restoration of peace. Germany will not recognise France’s plans to use Indo-China as a Far Eastern base, because this would be contrary to the truce agreement. Germany is only recognising such armaments as are necessary for the maintenance of peace and order in Indo-China. “Germany naturally recognises Japan’s position as leader in the Far East, but the time is not ripe to express its views regarding Japan’s so-called southward policy.”
