THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

FRANCO-GERMAN FRICTION.

OCCUPATION OF RHINELAND

··· BROUGHT, UP.

A SNUB ADMINISTERED,

Paris, Aug. 25.

A Franco-German duel seems to be developing at the Inter-Parlia- mentary Union conference.

Replying to Herr Loebe, M. Henri de Jouvenal declared that the military occupation of the Rhineland was the sole guarantee of the atability of eastern Europe, adding that when one had been an adversary so long It was better, to go slowly about knitting tios of friendship, rather than risk fresh ruptures.

A somewhat cool reception was accorded to the speech of Herr Loebe, who is president of the Reichstag, and heads an important Germann delegation, including the ex-Chancellor Wirth, to the twenty-fourth conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, which was the precursor of the League of Nations, and is presided over by M. Doumer, the president of the Senate, where the conference has. met to debate world politics and discuss a European tariff entente, the reduction of armaments, un anti-drug campaign, and the codi- fication of international law.
