Tokyo, June 26.
The determination of the Japanese Army in South China to employ force to halt the alleged flow of war materials from French Indo-
China to Chungking was made public last night in the form of an announcement by the headquarters of the Japanese Forces in South China.
The use of force, the announcement said, was decided on "in view of the fact that there has been little improvement in the prohibition of the transit of war materials to Chunging through French Indo-China despite Japan's repeated protests."
The announcement revealed that since June 17, crack units of the Japanese forces have started opera-lions to bring about a complete cessation in the flow of war materials to Chungking.—Domei.
