FRANCE TENDERS GOOD OFFICES
To Keep Friendship etween America
and Japan.

Paris (By Cable). - One OF the
immediate results of the Franco
Japanese entente which is on the
point of being signed has been the
tender by France of her good Offices
to the United States in case she can
be Of service in promoting COM
plete understanding between the
United States and Japan, covering
their respective interests in the Far
East.
Franco believes that the United
States should become a party to the
series of ententes, recently arrived
at between the powers, guaranteeing
the status quo in the Far East and
the best means of avoiding possible
future complications and misunder-
standings, and has formally conf
municated to the United States gov
ernment her readiness, now or In the
future, to further negotiations in
that direction.
The Washington government, while
not availing itself of Frances SER
vices, expressed in its reply its deep
sensibility and appreciation OF the
friendly offer.
According to the Figaro the text
of the Franco-Japanese entente is
very short, consisting of a declara-
tion followed by statement. The
declaration is said to be as follows:
France and Japan being mutually
desirous Of reaching an understand
ing and strengthening their friendly
relations and having examined their
interests in the Far East, namely the
sovereignty of France over Indo-
China and the occupation of Kwang
Chauwin, leased from China in 1898
by France, and the occupation OF
Port Arthur by Japan and the pro-
lection over Korea by Japan, agree
that the recognition of the independ-
ence and integrity of China is the
best guarantee of their interests and
proclaim this principle in order to
strengthen the interior peace and Sc
curity of China, so necessary to all
European interests
I'm consequence France andcJapan
mutually guarantee the continental
status quo"
Although the entente does not in
clude a commercial treaty for Indo.
China, pending the conclusion of such
treaty 1t guarantees the most ia
vored nation treatment for japanese
in Indo-China and French subjects of
Indo-China in Japan.
