FRANCES FOREIGN POLICY.

The National Interests Subor;stnated to
Interests of Other Powers.
PARIS. May 31.-In the Senate to-day
NJ. Hanotaux, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, made an important statement
regarding the foreign policy of the Cow
ernment, in which he said that French
national interests were subordinated to
the interests of other powers. He exi
planned that the part which France took
in the European representations to Japan
was dictated by the interests of France,
in view OF her position in Hindoo-China
and the protection she owed to French
religious missions in China. France
could not see the independence of China
nenaced by q permanent Japanese occu-
patton. If the Empire of China
fell, or was rudely shaken, French
interests would surely suffer from
the consequent disorder and am
archy. Russia, he continued, held the
same view regarding the necessity of
maintaining the statu quo in China in her
own interest, and Germany likewise had
good reasons for acting in unison with
France and Russia.
