FATE OF FOUR CHINESE
NO QUESTION OP BARTER
FOREIGN OFFICE VIEW
FRANCO-JAP TRUCE
(Klee. 'lYl. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Aug. 28, 9 a.m.) LONDON,- Aug. 27.
It was announced yesterday that the Foreign Office communication to the Chinese Ambassador regarding the handing over of the four Chinese prisoners at Trientsin stated: “There could be no question of using the accused as pawns or bartering their disposal against some concession to Britain.
“To hand them over to the Chinese authorities elsewhere than in Tientsin as the Ambassador suggested is impracticable and unreasonable. They must be handed to the local authorities. This does not constitute recognition of the so-called provisional Government.
"The British Municipal Council in Tientsin for the past two years has been sending persons for trial by and executing warrants issued by the defacto district court. The present warrant does not differ from many hundreds of its predecessors.” The Domei Agency at Shanghai announced on Saturday a new FraneoJapanese agreement restoring unrestricted traffic with the French Concession at Hankow, which had been isolated for 10 months.
