In no case, it is argued here, is the foreigner likely to benefit, since the determination of the factions to Vi foreign special privileges differs only in its degree. A high French authority said today that there was no foundation for re- ports that the French were negotiat- ing with the Nationalists for the re- turn of the French Shanghai conces- sion to the Nationalists. He pointed out that it was the French policy to refuse to negotiate such questions un til there was a competent authority with which to deal. He said that the French retail their concession at Han- while the British concession has French Protest Confirmed. It was confirmed by this French au- thority that the French authorities had lodged a strong protest with the Nationalists over the killing at Nan- king of two French priests, but he denied that this indicated separate ac- tion by France with regard .to the Nanking affair. ) He added that the French legation in Peking was consulting with the other foreign representatives here, seeking a united front. He empha- sized the fact that France realized that effective action to liquidate the Nanking affair was impossible unless rance, the United States, Great Britain and Japan acted together.
