DUPED THAILAND AND THE FRENCH
HOW BOTHI THAILAND AND FRANGE HAVE BEEN "DUPED” BY JAPAN WAS DESCRIBED IN A BROADCAST IN THAI FROM PENANG. THE SPEAKER, WHO ANALYSED JAPANESE PROPA- GANDA REGARDING THAILAND, SAID; }
It may be claimed by Japan that in acting as the mediator in the territorial dispute between Thailand and Indo-China, the Japanese Govern- ment proved a benefactor to the Thai people, inas- much as this mediation has been the means of restoring Battambong and of giving Thailand the line of the Mekong as a continuous international frontier. But what are the facts?

WANT A STRONG FLEET
"Thailand would have liked to recover more than has actually been given back to her. She would have liked to receive Vien- liane and she would have liked to receive Pnompenh. Japan decided that these territories must be kept by the French. France. The pld, was giving up a great deal to Thailand and her interest, too, must be considered.
Thailand listened to this argu- ment; she did not press her claim to Vientiane, or to Pnompenh, or to Angkor and, what is more, she agreed that the areas retroceded to her should be demilitarised with the exception of those situat- ed on the River Mekong.
