Indo-China and Thailand edged slightly closer towards war on Sunday when 'the Hanol authorities reported a fierce air battle above the Mekong River village of Thakek, while French forces carried out retaliatory measures against Thailand. The Thai Promier declared that the Thai Air Force was fully prepared to carry out large-scale bombing of Cambodia and Laos,

Hanoi reports declare that Thailand planes attacked a French armed vessel in the Gulf of Thailand' but none of the bombe dropped hit the ship. The French replied with machine- gun fire and bit one of the attacking planes. -

Commenting on the new U.S.$100,000,000 loan to China the Washington Post calls the step President Roosevelt's Ørst major international move since his re-election. The same journal believes the action is expected not only to strengthen the Chinese resistance but also to encourage continued Soviet aid to Chiang Kai-shek.

Declaring that generosity displayed in the negotiations with the Occidental colonies may react to the detriment of Japan because leniency is exceeded, the Nichi Nichi Shimbun editorially demands the speeding up of trade conversations with Indo-China · and the Netherlands East Indies.

Chungking claims that Chinese troops have smashed the Japanese offensive along a 150-mile front in north Hupeh causing the death of over 12,658 Japanese.
