.USSR SENDS new
PROTEST NOTE TO
.POINCARE REGIME
See French Government
More Hostile

/ PARIS, April 1.-THE Soviet
Union thru it's Ambassador Dovgaley-
ski has handed a second note to the
French government protesting against
the interruption of negotiations on the
debt question and complaining that
the French Government has ignored
its previous note which demanded an
explanation for the suit started by
the Bank of France for 100000 in
Soviet Gold shipped to the United
States.
The new U. S. S. R. note refers
more generally to F'ranco-Soviet rela-
tons than did the first one. The
note refers indirectly to the hostile
attitude which the French Govern
ment has adopted in its relations with
the Soviet Union.
The French Government has COM
pletely evaded its suit in the United
States courts in its dealings with the
U. S. S. R. diplomats. Government
officials has not only denied knowl-
edge Of the suit when asked about it
by Ambassador Dovgalexski, but has
sent no reply to the U. S. S. r note
on the question
With the national elections two
weeks off, the Poincare Government
is anxious to keep the general issue
quiet. In spite of the numerous ar
rests of left wing leaders and the
change in the election laws which viii
hamper minority parties, the Com
munists are expected to make sub
stantial gains.

not a single case has been reported of

Clashes between foreigners and rik-

Orient. Some passengers are sticklers
for the legal fare. while many OF the
coolies are truculent. The Marine and
the rikShs boy, however, are good
friends. The coming Of the Bird Marine
Brigade has proved blessing TO the
thousands of rikisha coolies who swarm
Tientsin streets seeking a pTecarious
living. Last Winter hundreds of them
spent days on the bitter cold streets
without picking up fare. Now there
are hardly enough rikishas to meet the
demand. And the American leather

argue about a few cents after the
