Tokyo, July 8.
Regarding the question of the Frenchi occupation of the Paracel Islands, the spokesman of the Foreign Office stated last night: The. French Ambassador, M. Charles Arsene Henry, called on the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Kensuke Horinouchi, on July 7, and verbally notified the latter that the Government of French Indo-China has appointed an administrator of the Sei Sha To (Paracel Islands) and has despatched more than ten Annamite policemen there and established a lighthouse, buoys and a wireless station, thereby effecting definite and complete occupation of the Islands by France.
"The French Ambassador stated to the Vice- Minister for Foreign Affairs that Japanese nationals had for more than ten years been engaged in the collection of seaweed and rock phosphate on the Islands but that their interests would be respected.
"With regard to the French verbal communication, the Foreign Office invited the French Ambassador to the Vice- and the Omce yesterday Minister handed the Ambassador a the forth clearly note which set views of the Japanese Government, on which occasion the Vice-Minister discussed the question at some length with the Ambassador.
"The Vice-Minister called the at- tention of the French Government to the possibility that the stationing of Annamile policemen on the Islands is likely to give rise to some un- expected misunderstandings between; them and the Japanese nationals there, and expressed the hope that the police force will be withdrawn."
