French Not Involved

Tokyo, June 13.

An agreement has been reached on the questions at issue between Britain and Japan, relating to the British Concession at Tientsin, declared Mr. Y. Suma, the Foreign Office spokesman yesterday.

The agreement, he said, covers policing, silver, and currency ques. tions.

The statement, however, does not refer to question of the Chinese silver in the French Concession at Tientsin, hich will apparently take further time for settlement—Reuter.

"Furthermore, if the European belligerent powers arbitrarily transfer rights and interests they acquired in China under treaty terms, the National Government of China will not recognize such transfers and will also adopt effective measures to annul, them, holding such activities an insult to the sovereignty of China and regarding such actions as liable to cause conflicts.""—Domei.
