HANATOUX,S WORDS

PARIS, April 5.-M. Hanatoux. minister of foreign affairs, spoke in the senate this evening concer6ing SIr Edward Grey's statement In the house of commons this week. The debate in the commons as to the British and Egyptian influ- ence In Africa, he said, had astonished him. France opposed decidedly the pre- tensions. of the Royal Niger company, which aimed 10 monopolize the trade in a vast region. he negotiations as to the territory affected by the company's claim were now in progress. As to the upper Nile region, France demanded that Eng land state her claims explicitly. France would reserve her decision and liberty of action pending Engand's reply. It was advisable to abstain from imprudent state- ments. France would maintain her plain rights. He preferred, however, not to make any affirmations likely to hinder the present negotiations. He was convinced that when the time of decision should come the two great nations would find means of reconcIling their interests with those of civilization and progress.
