FRANCE WARNS CHINA
ON PACT WITH RUSSIA
Says Banking Interests Must Be
Safeguarded in Arrange
ments.
BY tie Associated Press.


PEkING, March 14.-What may be
serious difficulty in the way Of
Chinese recognition of soviet Russia
developed yesterday. France, through
her legation, sent a note to the
Peking government warning it
against disregarding the rights of the
! Russo -Asiatic Bank in negotiations
with Russia.
This bank has exercised cegree of
control over the management of the
Chinese Eastern railway. One of the
conditions understood to have been
advanced by the soviet for a resunp-
tion of relations was the turning over
| to it of this control.
The French note asserts that co
per cent of the stockholders of the
bank are French citizens, and that
all the conventions concerning con-
struction of the railway, one of the
most important in the far east were
with the bank itself, or its prede-
. cessor, as party, without mention
, ing the Russian government.
