Extraordinary Conference Called
INDO-CHINA TO BE ASKED FOR EXPLANATION
SOME HOPES STILL OF SETTLEMENT
(By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) TOKIO, February 28.
Press reports state that the ultimatum hour, midnight, passed with the lights burning in the Japanese Foreign Office. Officials were gravely awaiting the first test of Japanese leadership in the East Asia sphere, but no reply came. The Japanese have summoned an extrordinary conference for Saturday morning, at which Indo-China represntatives will be asked Io explain the lack of an answer to Japan’s final mediation proposals. Competent circles expressed the opinion that any forceful action by Japan would at least, be delayed, until the removal of several hundred Japanese civilians from Indo-China and possibly until the armistice period expires on March 7. Some quarters still believe an amicable settlement possible, either by Japanese agreement to an extension of the ultimatum time limit or by delayed French capitulation.
