Denounces Tokyo APPEASEMENT POLICY Move as Threat BY THE U.S. HAS KEPT To Philippines JAPAN OUT OF

Special to the "Telegraph".

· WASHINGTON, Jály 24 (UP),—The Undor Secretary of State, Mr Sumner Welles, has issued a sharp note denouncing the Japanese move in Indo-China as a threat to the United States defence supplies in the Philippines. Mr Welles told the press conference to-day that he had transmitted his views to Admiral Nomura, the Japanese Ambassador, when the latter visited the State Department yesterday, the text of which was

as follows:

MOSCOW REPELS RAIDERS

WASHINGTON, JULY 24 (UP),—PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO-DAY DECLARED THAT THE UNITED STATES Has been permITTING JAPAN TO PROCURE OIL HERE AS A MEA- SURE OF APPEASEMENT IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE WORLD WAR FROM SPREADING TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

The President told members of the Office of Civilian Defence that if the United States had not sold oil to Japan, Japan would have moved into the Dutch East Indies a year ago...

"Our foreign policy was trying to halt the war from breaking out down there," he added. However, the President did not indicate whether or not this policy will be changed.

President Roosevelt spoke extemporaneously and his text reflected the informality of his remarks. It is noteworthy that he used past tenses in referring to the foreign policy.
