FRENCH MINISTER DENIES PLOT.
The French Minister to China has sent a communique to Mr. Wang Ching-wel informing him that the newspaper accounts re- porting French military movements on the Kwangsi frontier are entire. ly groundless as the French Gay- ernment has al no time ever enter- lained the slightest intention of ex-. lendinga influence to Kwangsi, according to the Wah Kiu Ya! Po. The French Minister asks the Kuomintang leader to communicate with the Canton newspapers and the Kwangsi military and civil ud- ministrators and convey to them the attitude of the French Govern- ment. Mr. Wang Ching-wel has sent a Chinese translation of this
ולם
letter to General Li Chung-yen.
The tension the Kwangsi frontier, it will be recalled, was first reported from Canton and led to the issue of a Government order | to send troops to Kwangsi. In in- formed circles this was regarded as an attempt to get rid of some troops by sending them to a remote part of the province.
Although nothing has been fixed, the newspapers suggest that the Hague might be considered as the must acceptable moeting place. British Wireless.
