The remarkable change in the strike situation in France Is largely due to the Government's new Arbitra tion Act and is strikingly illustrated in the statement of the Ministry of, the Interlor that there are now only 6,500 strikers throughout the country, Of thean only 2,100 ure occupying factories, compared with approxim- ately 40,000 strikers, of whom 21,000 tvere occupying workshops and factories only a week ago. :

But has no Fear of any Coup de Force in Syria
Paris, Jan. 7..
No news of any massing of Turkish troops on the southern frontier, adjacent to Alexandrotts and Antioch, has reached well- informed quarters here. -
·
It is pointed out that Turkey is not demanding annexation of Alexandretta or Antioch, but is merely urging thỏ granting of Independence. It is therefore thought that a coup de force by Turkey is most unlikely.
It is emphasised that France is content to leave matters in the hands of the League of Nations, where negotiations with the Turks are continuing, And it is hoped that an acceptable solution may be reached.--Reuter.
