This article presents information related to world politics. Japan appears to have won a complete though bloodless, victory in the first stage of its drive for mastery of Southeastern Asia. As the price for mediation of the undeclared war between Thailand and French Indo-China, it is reported to have exacted concessions from both countries which will leave the Japanese in complete economic and military control of the area. In a separate agreement concluded simultaneously with the armistice between Thailand and Indo-China, the French are reported to have yielded Japan a free hand in the exploitation of Indo-China's rich natural resources, including a virtual monopoly on all exports of rice, rubber, and coal.
