INDO-GHINA CRISIS
JAPANESE DEMANDS APPARENTLY REJECTED FRENCH MOBILISATION COMPLETE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, September 21. According to a Vichy message the Foreign Office has announced that Tokio demanded the swift conclusion of the Jndo-China talks. The Hanoi correspondent of the United Press of America says that the authorities are taking emergency measures. The new Japanese demands have apparently been rejected. French mobilisation is almost complete, and troops are reported to be ready to move at short notice. Trains are standing by to evacuate the women and children to the south.
Nippon Airways has suspended its Hanoi service and removed all equipment. The Japanese evacuation ships at Saigon have sailed, but, as far as is known, the evacuees have not yet left Haiphong. The French authorities said they would resist a Japanese landing if it was attempted to enforce the ultimatum.
