Tokyo, June 21.
Satisfaction over the acceptance by the French authorities of the Japanese request for the cessation of the transportation of war materials to Chungking through French Indo-China was expressed by the Foreign Office spokesman, Mr. Yakichiro Suma, to members of the foreign press during today's regular conference.
Replying to a query as to whether or not the French Indo-China embroglio had been settled with the French acceptance of the Japanese requests, the spokesman declared that he hoped that the matter would be arranged satisfactorily.
He added that Japan will bane officials on the spot to investigate transportation conditions. The spokesman declared that no definite rangements have been made with reference to the number of inspectors and the localities to where they would be sent.
Such matters, he added, would be settled between the Japanese Consul-General at Hanoi and the French Government-General of Indo-China. The spokesman denied that Japanese Government had approached the British Government with a request for the suspension of arms transit to China through Burma. Domei.
