COMPLAINT TO FRANCE
PROTEST BY CHINESE COMMUNISTS
ALLEGED TERRITORIAL VIOLATIONS (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9 p.m.) HONG KONG, Dec. 22. The Chinese Communist Foreign Minister (General Chou En-lai) has accused French aircraft of violating the territorial rights of China on December 14. The Peiping radio said that General Chou had lodged a strong protest “against this intolerably hostile action,”
and declared that the French Government should bear responsibility for all consequences resulting from it. General Chou alleged that five French aircraft had reconnoitred over the Kwangsi front, near the IndoChina border, at a time when the Communists were fighting the Chinese Nationalists. General Chou said that this “flagrant transgression of the sacred territorial air of the People’s Republic” proved that the French were openly intervening in the Chinese civil wajr.
