France weighs Big Four meeting with Communist China
Paris Oct 8 Foreign Minister Georges Bidault said Premier Laniel's cabinet discussed whether France should urge a Big Four meeting with Communist China but made no decision. Some papers claimed an agreement to push the U S and Britain toward a five power talk on Far East issues. The Foreign Ministry communique denied Cabinet had decided to propose a nuclear conference and said only an exchange of views occurred on the diplomatic situation after the Soviet invitation. Bidault lamented leaks misinforming journalists and emphasized no linking of Indochina peace with the other issue.
