history,

No one will deny the possibility of severe famine.

The British Isles winter, Germany, drawing upon conquered territories, may escape serious famine. Italy is in a tight spot. The real danger is in France Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway and German-occupied Poland Factors making for famine are 1. Last winfer was severe, followed by a cold, wet spring and crop-destroying floods 2. Mobilizations took peasants ofl farms, leaving women and children for labor. 3. Actual fighting destroyed crops 4. Conquering Germans live ofl and milk invaded countries 5. Communication and transport is disrupted, hampering greatly food distribution 6. The British blockade keeps imfood from continental Eu-

By RICHARD C. WILSON | United Press Staff Correspondent. | HONG KONG, Aug. 7 (U. P.)— The French in Indo-China, aware of Japan's expansionist policy in the South Seas, have stiffened and their attitude appears to be that they will not give up their valuable colony without a struggle. When I sailed for Hong Kong this week I saw three Japanese destrovers outside Haiphong harbor and there were reports of imminent

(In Tokyo, the Japanese denied they had made any demands on| Indo-China.) Although French military forces in Indo-China are admittedly inadequate to cope with a large-scale invasion, most Frenchmen have taken the attitude that they would fight rather than lose their colony. France already has agreed to stationing of a Japanese military mission in Indo-China to determine that the Franco-Japanese agreement to halt flow of military supplies to China is being enforced The mission, ostensibly present only to check traffic across the border into China. has been growing steadily since it was established More than 100 Japanese military men already are in Indo-China and Japanese Army planes arrive at and depart from Hanoi daily. The French have provided the mission with a headquarters building and a fleet of automobiles. Members of the mission, in addig, tion to observing traffic with China and ascertaining that the French have ceased supplving the Chinese with arms and war material, have completed an economic and military survey of Indo-China. They have been busy making maps and studying highways in no way connected with travel between Indo-China and China, | The French have treated the] Japanese wilh courtesy.
