RUMOUR FLATLY DENIED
FRENCH ENVOY’S QUARREL WITH LITVINOFF RELATIONS NOT BROKEN PARIS, Wednesday. Sensational stories were published in certain organs of the Frencch Nationalist Party to the effect that the French Ambassador at Moscow, M. Herbette, had broken off relations with M. Litvinoff, Acting-Foreign Commissar, and was about to return to Paris. These are flatly denied in official quarters. The incident, if it can be described as such, is said to have resulted from the French envoy's effort to deliver to the Soviet a communication from Rumania regarding the conflict between Russia and China in Manchuria. According to acocunts which have reached Paris. M. Litvinoff informed M. Herbette that he would not even accept a Note from a "third-rate Power.” "Le Temps” this evening, reflecting the view of the French Foreign Office, says:-—“What it would be well to bear in mind is that with a Government such as that at Moscow it is a singularly delicate and ungrateful task to attempt to perform good offices, whether as a simple intermediary or in conformity with pure international courtesy.”
