Preparing for
Defense in Canton
Canton.—Shameen, the artificial is­
land which is the Canton foreign set­
tlement, was in a state of siege Mon­
day.
Two gunboats, one British and one
French, held commanding positions In
the creek separating Shameen from
the city. AH approaches to (he Island
were fortified, with piled up sandbags
and quick firing guns testifying to the
preparedness of the foreign forces for
emergencies.
All Europeans have been warned
not to enter Canton itself. In Sha
meen it Is believed they will be safe.
The placing of the two gunboats is
supposed to make Impossible any
landing by Chinese on the island.
Foreign residents in the Y. M. C. A.
in Canton itself have been urged to
leave for some safer lodging.
Anti-foreign feeling is especially
strong against Japanese and British
nationals and interests. The Ameri-
cans are reported teceivlng better

Washington, D, C.—Representations

tively.
Conclusion of a satisfactory arrange­
ment with France would be regarded
by official* here as settling one of the
most important and vexing foreign
problems now confronting the admin­
istration. That nation is America’s
largest debtor, owing 34,213,009.999,
and recurring unofficial reports that
she was ready to arrange for funding
her obligations during tbe last few
years never have resulted In any real
action.
Czechoslovakia owe* the United
States 3118,090,009, and funding nego­
tiations are expected to begin not later
than similar discussions with the
French.
Italy will start negotiation« here
soon for the funding of her 32.090.-
000,000 debt, and Belgium will send a
commission to Washington for the
game purpose in July, It has been an­
nounced. W ith France and Ciecho-
