OUTLOOK CRITICAL
IN FRENCH INDOCHINA REPORTED JAPANESE DEMANDS. GOVERNOR IN DIFFICULT POSITION. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 9 a.m.) SINGAPORE, September 11. Arrivals from Indo-China report that the Japanese demands are:— Firstly, three air bases in Tongking, with 8,000 personnel each; secondly, use of Camranah Bay as a naval base, and thirdly, passage of 60,000 troops through Tongking. It is declared that the Governor. Admiral Decoux, is holding out against the Japanese, but cannot do so much longer, owing to pressure from the Vichy Government. One report says Admiral Decoux has already agreed to three aerodromes with 1,000 personnel and the passage of 20,000 troops. Another report is that Admiral Decoux has sent three telegrams to President Roosevelt, the contents of which are unknown but it is "believed he pointed out Indo-China's critical position, especially as 95 per cent of the population is opposed to the Vichy Government and is for General De Gaulle."
