Rome, Sept. 27.
Premier Benito Mussolini's mouthig. Virginia Gayda, warned America, Britain and France yesterday that any "incautious" ' stand regarding Japan's occupation of French Indo-China would result in further Japanese expansion "in all directions throughout Asia."
Writing in the "Giornale d'Italia," Sig. Gayda hinted that Japan would attack the Philippines, Singapore and the Netherlands East Indies if the United States and Britain retaliate for Japan's actions in Indo-China and Shangh:
Stating that Italy supports Japan's occupation of French Indo-China. Sig. Gayda said, "There can be no doubt that the French stand in Indo-China was chiefly inspired by the United States and Britain, who are interested in safeguarding their imperial positions in Asia.
"Any incautious stand on the part of the French, as well as their American and British protectors' will only bring about further Japanese expansion in Asia and a spreading of the conflict to that continent, "It is unnecessary to add that in the clash of interests and tendencies, Italy is on the side of Japan. Italians recognize Japan's fundamental right to vital necessaries. "—United Press.
