Tourists Start
Race War; Stir u.
French Negroes
By JOHN d. GANDT
United Prcrs Staff CORRESPONDENT

PARIS, Aug. 9.-Prcmier Poin-
care has instructed the ministry of
the interior to examine into Incl
dents in which American tourists
have objected to the association
with negroes often required by
French custom, and to determine if
proprietors of restaurants, whence
colorcd guests have been elected
upon request of Americans, should
not have their licenses revoked.
Meanwhile Prince Georges Toval-
ton, dusky son of former poten-
tate, is going to push to the limit
in the courts his case against
Monte Martrc cafe, from which he
= was thrown, together with his
brother, after a row with white
tourists from the United States
early Tuesday morning.
The two princes wore decorations
for bravery while serving in the
French army during the world war.
81 intend to push the case to the
limit" Prince George said. " Amer
leans must respect French laws.
They cannot act as though they
had conquered our country. 1t is
intolcrable to imagine that half
drunk Americans with Il handful of
money can impose their savage
customs here
The American embassy has been
asked to take action but the reply
has been to the effect that it can
not intervene III incidents occur
ring i'll Monte Martre establish
mentS. %
The Paris press defends the col
ored citizens who were beaten and
thrown out when they sought a
drink at the bar where the Ameri
cans were standing. ..
"'Citizens in France may be of
different catcgories but all have
equal rights,' the Echo Rationale
says.
