FAR i ST CRISIS THREATENS U. §.

hp a time-limit of Sunday for French acquiescence in providing the Japanese Navy and airforce with permanent bases in French Indo-China. It was said that Tokyo felt certain that the French would give in but that in any event irrevocable decisions had been taken by an imperial conference that Japan is'to take the first step ‘toward expansion in the South Pacific. this program, it wa Netherlands East Indies have a major role.

(Continued from Page One)

Fr en h Reaction Uncertain

The possibility that the program would stir reperecussions in the United States was said to have been conceded in Tokyo. Suggestions circulated that American embargoes nmiay be placed against Japan if she goes through with the program. Japanese residents of Indo-China were ‘being evacuated. The ultimatum was said to have been delivered after French officials had reached virtual agreement on previous but less far-reaching demands. What the reaction of the Vichy Government of France would be to the new developments was not known. A possible indication was seen in the statement yesterday of Foreign Minister Paul Baudouin that France had been forced to yield in the Far East because of failures of thé United States to back up the French position with force. Today’s air action followed a night of limited German air activity in which bombs were dropped largely at random over the London area and in many other parts of Britain, including Lancashire, Essex, Surrey, Berkshire, Kent, the Midlands and southwestern regions. ~ It was revealed that Westminster Cathedral was fhe latest famed British landmark to suffer bomb damage.

Nazi Press Indignant

The Royal Air force struck back at Germany, smashing again at the channel “invasion” ports and making excursions into southern and western Germany. Four persons were killed and eight wounded in these attacks, the official news agency reported. Incendiary bombs were dropped. The British ‘admiralty announced that the submarine Sturgeon sank “a heavily laden” German transport off Den-|; mark on the night of Sept. 2. The German press continued to clamor for devastating retaliation for tiie British bombs which fell on a children’s institution at Bielefeld. The German Propaganda Ministry took correspondents to see the damage where sight children were reported killed, - Possible licht on the bombing was thrown by the report of residents that the British had raided the community no less than 50 times since the start of the war.

XThis little announcement will concern itself with a salute to those whe bring “ears” to the orchestra— making it a splendid, living, inspiring reality—to more and more people! A special salute, therefore, to the Women's Committee of the Indiana State Symphony Society, Inc., who work fifty-four weeks a year in behalf of the orchestra, its support and perpetuation— and its spread! (These next two weeks—in their Yicket-seliing campaign they double their energies.)

It must be a deep satisfaction to everybody who helps further the spread of fine music—that they are contributing to the sum total of human happiness, and trying to preserve in hs tragic age one of the reat cultural, humanizing forces or peace.

The embargo resulted {from a searcity of dollar exchange and was believed aimed at persuading the United States to import more from Argentine.
