China's Ambassador in Paris, Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo last week carried to the Quai d'Orsay a mild reminder that China considered the Paracels part of her territory but added, meaningly, that China did not object to French occupation "for the time being."

He was called back to Paris to become Chief of the American Section of the Quai d'Orsay, but State Department propheteers are sure he will ultimately return as Ambassador.
