Chinese Attack To Delay Japs KOKt'E SEEKS TO HINDER JAPANESE INVASION OF 1NDO- CHINA

SHANGHAI, Sept. 25.—(UP)—A Chinese army has attacked the Japanese in the Lunchow area near the Indo-Chinese frontier in a move to hinder the Japanese invasion of Indochina, authoritative dispatches from the border asserted today. It had been known that China was massing big forces of tioops in the area, and that all was ready for an attack when the Chinese government decided to give the order. News of the Chinese attack readied here today as the Japanese ant.ounced they had started landing troops at Haiphong, the port of Hanoi, despite the abrogation by French colonial authorities of tile agreement on which the landing was to have been based. A Domei (Japanese) news agency dispatch from “somewhere in south China” said that army authorities j had announced the start of landing j operation “under the terms of the 1 agreement,” and had said in a communique: “We expect the landing to be effected peacefully and amicably by application of the terms of the agreement.” Though the Japanese would be opposed only by French colonial forces in any fighting in the Haiphong area, they might meet serious difficulty from the Chinese.

the war.

"Much of the gold In the United States,” he pointed out, “is subject to demand by our creditors abroad, including France and other conquered countries. These deposits and debts are payable in gold. If he wins, Hitler will not want to render these accounts valueless.” “Furthermore,” he continued, "a considerable proportion of the annual Sold production ponies from British territory. If Hitler wins he will probably take this territory. Again, is he likely to <iestroy the value of his own property? Gold did not come into its dominant position in our monetary standard by accident; it Is not likely to leave the scene by a mere whim.” “What will happen when peace breaks out?” the speaker asked, and then reiterated that it was the job of the United States to keep its money sound to avoid general economic chaos when his war is over.
