THE FRANCO-sIAMEsE TREATY.
1t Was Drawn Up to Operate Against
Great Britain.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star
PARIS, Oct. 3.-The opinion in Paris re-
garding the Franco-Siamese treaty is that
1t is mainly designed to operate against
Great Britain.
The treaty practically brings the prov
inces Of Battambang and Siemreap and the
ffteen-rni1e zone on the Siamese side of the
Mekong into the French sphere of influence.
while Siam will have to bear the cost of
administration and the responsibility of
maintaining order. The privileges con-
ceded to France in this region are given
in rerpetuity.
The Soir deplores the serious omission in
the treaty to clearly define the extent of the
new French territories on the left bank
of the Mekong. which will give Great
Britain a chance to step in and claim that
the upper region should constitute a buffer
state between Burmah and Cochin China.
France thus Will be robbed of part Of her
territory.
Other newspapers express similar fears.
