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." In Tokyo, smarting Foreign Office officials notified French Ambassador Charles Arséne Henry that "stationing of Annamite troops on the Paracels might lead to misunderstandings between them and Japanese workers on the islands," asked that the troops be withdrawn.

We feel, however, as one whose ancestors fought in the Peninsula Campaign under the aforementioned duke, that it was not altogether worth the candle. There...
...that some future age may star a Jeanette MacDonald in a film of the war. Cast opposite Allan Jones, a spy for the French Army with whom she inconveniently but most romantically falls in love, in appropriate Spanish milien, she sings and dances her way to a victory for Wellington and the liberation of Spain. Other good performances are turned in by Warren William and Douglas Dumbrille as opposing members of the military profession.
