President Eisenhower told an Iowa State Fair crowd the French Parliament rejection of the European Defense Community was a major setback in the fight against international communism. He said the EDC was a necessary device to check communism and noted the setback despite a standing ovation from the audience. He cited France’s 319 264 vote to postpone debate and warned the Mendes France government faced danger as U S officials had urged approval for months. Hoover listened nearby as the two former leaders reviewed stock before the speech.
