Paris, Dec. 23.
Repudiation of the Franco-Italian agreement of 1995 by Italy found a grim response in the French press today.
The step was regarded as the frst move in what might prove to be a new crisis, and as designed to ensure that the Italian claims would be the main subject of Mr. Neville Chamberlain's conversations in Rome in January, any-idea of which. it had been the newspapers' concern to refute throughout the week.—Reuter.
Tokyo, Dec. 23. New restrictions between the foreign concessions in Tientsin, and the outside world, were announced here yesterday. Traffic is now permitted only in day time, and on seven specified roads.
Only soldiers, and nationals of Third Powers with Japanese Army Headquarters permits, are allowed entry at other times.
More barbed wire, it is stated, has been erected at the borders of the British and French Concessions.—Reuter.
