Group 9 [Dutch East Indies]
Tie was to be decided over one match in Saigon in January 1938.
Japan withdrew, Dutch East Indies had a walkover.

NB: after Japan's withdrawal, FIFA ruled that the Dutch East Indies had to 
    play off against the USA for a place in the final tournament.
    The match was scheduled for 26 May 1938 (Ascension Day) in Rotterdam
    (Netherlands) but the USA withdrew at the end of April for financial
    reasons (they had hoped to finance the trip to Europe with the profits
    of a match against an English team on the occasion of the silver jubilee
    of the American federation, but the English cancelled the match refusing
    to play on a Sunday) and the Dutch Indies qualified by walkover.

Group 10 [Brazil]
Argentina withdrew, Brazil had a walkover.

Groups 11/12 [Cuba]
Group 11
Mexico withdrew; USA scheduled to play Dutch East Indies on 26 May 1938
in Rotterdam (see group 9) but withdrew in April.

Group 12
A tournament was announced for the second half of April 1938 between
Cuba, Colombia, Costa Rica and El Salvador, in a knock-out format
with each tie decided over three legs.  Surinam (Dutch Guyana) were
excluded on 9 April 1938 for allegedly having not replied to 
correspondence from the organisers, a decision against which Surinam 
successfully protested.  Later in April 1938, Colombia and El Salvador
withdrew, and a triangular tournament between Cuba, Costa Rica and
Surinam was to be played in La Habana, from which Surinam withdrew for
financial reasons (requesting instead to play the match against the
Dutch East Indies for which the USA had meanwhile withdrawn, but this
was refused by the FIFA), and as Costa Rica withdrew as well, Cuba had
a walkover, as the match scheduled for the winners of this group against
Argentina in Bordeaux on 29 May 1938 was also cancelled after the renewed
withdrawal of Argentina.
