Japan seeks concessions from France
Wednesday, June 25, 1940 www.onwar.com
In French Indochina... The Japanese put pressure on the French authorities in Indochina to block the transit of supplies to the Chinese Nationalists. They wish the rail line into China closed and a Japanese mission to be allowed in to inspect this.
In the United States... New considerably increased taxes are introduced which bring an additional 2,200,000 into the tax roll who have never formerly paid income tax. These increases of course reflect the armament expenditure.
On the Western Front... The Franco-German armistice comes into force.
