Every aspect of the ln-tertiatlonal situation had been covered. "It Is most Important that we and our French friends should be in the closest, accord In these difficult days," he added. Reliable sources said the British and French Governments agreed on what concessions could be made to the Communists In Indo-Chlna, and Britain would give full support to the new Premier in his bid to achieve a cease-fire by July 20.
