The leaders Of France realize that
this is the moment to endeavor to es-
tabliSh France as the great power to
take the place of the British Empire in

army and possessing more gold than
any other nation, with the exception of
the United States, the French believe
that they need an adequate colonial

The Province of Yunan was never Seri-
ously controlled by the Chinese gov
eminent, even in the days when the
authority of the Emperor of China
was unchallenged by the 400 900 900
subjects. Governors of Indochina have
suggested within the last 10 years to
the Paris government to make clean
sweep in that province and put an end
to the existing banditry. The time was
not ripe then.
The French general staff figured out
that such move. even if political con-
ditions would allow 1t, would require
large armed force of white troops,
and France was not in a position to
spare any Of her metropolitan soldiers.
The occasion seems unique today,
however. The world which has been
forced to accept the japanese point of
view, that a country is entitled to send
troops into a foreign territory to de-
fend either its treaty rights or the life
and property Of its nationals will have
little to say when the French colonial
once indicates that it has been forced
to send troops into Yunan TO wipe out
banditry in order to protect the in
habitants of Tonkin.
