NEW YORK, July 25 (Renter)-- Writing in her dally newspaper column, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the President, urged the
Negotiations have been berun in French Indo-China to divorce the plastre from the franc and link it with either the pound sterling, the guilder or the United States dollar-a do- cision which, it is hoped in Saigon, will solve the country's peculiar economie difficulties brought about by the submission of France to Germany and the advent of the Petala regime. News of this was brought by Dr scarce and some of the French United States to encourage the A. J. J.

ANOTHER CHINESE
PROTEST
CHUNGKING July 25 (Reuter). --The Ministry of Foreign Affairs nas led another strong protest with the diplomatic representa - Į tives of the foreign governments concerned against the handing over by the Shanghat "Municipal Council of the land documents to the bogus Shanghai regime.
1r
The Ministry pointed out that since the land documents were en- trusted to its custody by the Land Bureau of the Greater Shanghai Municipality under Mayor O.K Yut the S.M.C. had no right to hand them over to any organisa tion other than the original Land Bureau, and far less the bogus Shanghai regime."
Characterising the action of the B.M.C. as unlawful, the Ministry. sala that it not only seriously at- fected the interests of the Chinese and foreigners in Shanghai but also betrayed the trust of the Chinese Government.
Declaring the transfer legally Tull and void, the Ministry said that the Chinese Government re- served all rights in the case. -
