France Proposes Plan to Break Indo China Conference Deadlock
A new French plan to resolve the Indo China Conference deadlock was discussed by non Communist delegates over the weekend. The plan, based on France’s proposals to the nine nation talks, aims to create an international armistice supervisory commission and mixed committees with separate functions. It envisions majority voting with referral to guarantor powers on vital issues and would require both majority and minority reports if no unanimity exists. The proposals are seen as concessions to the Communists who demanded independent committees.
