FRANCE DENIES BREACH OF NEUTRALITY

Paris, June 20.

The French Government's surprise at Japanese allegations that France was sending war materials to Chinn was expressed to the Japanese Am- bassador to-day by M. Georges Bonnet, the Foreign Minister.

Referring to the possibility of a Japanese Invasion of Hainan Island, to which the Japanese Foreign Office pokesman referred yesterday, it is printed out in responsible quarters

that the Japanese Government in the

past had Indicated that the island would not be occupled it France ob- served neutrality.

The French Government considers that it has remained impartial in the Sino-Japanese conflict and therefore feels that there would be no justifica- tion for a Japanese occupation of Hainan Island. However, it is ad- mitted that the occupation would not violate the Franco-Japanese Treaty of 1907.--Reuter.
