Paris, Feb. 24.
The French Ambassador to Tokyo yesterday sent to Paris the Japanese reply to French protests regarding the Japanese bombing of the Yunnan Railway in southern China. Official circles said the reply was conciliatory. "It, shows a real effort to settle the bombing incident of February 1," they said, but pointed out that it only mentioned one of four bombings, two of which occurred during the past week. It was the first time, however, that the Japanese have shown the-slightest desire to settle the differences with France.
