1241. My 1228, November 9, 3 p.m.67 My French colleague in response to an inquiry made by me this afternoon stated that the two Chinese courts are now functioning practically in a normal manner and that out of a total of 22 judges on the 2 courts only 2 or 3 have refused to sit under the new authority. The French authorities seemed to be entirely satisfied with the manner in which the courts are being administered.
