Paris, June 25, The solidarity between Great Britain and France, especially regarding the situation in Tientsin, was emphasized by M. Georges Bonnet, the French Foreign Minister, in an address yesterday before the Council of Ministers.
Great Britian, he added, had not advised the French Government of any concrete plan for reprisals, since London was still waiting fo know what were the intentions of the Japanese Government.
The French Government, M. Bonnet said, hoped, especially in the light of the recent attitude of the American Government, that the affair could be settled locally.
The general feeling here regarding the progress of the negotiations between France, Britain and Russia is less optimistic than recently. M. Bonnet reviewed these negotiations at the Council of Ministers.—Reuter.
