5258. Bidault asked me this afternoon to convey to my Government and especially to the Secretary of State the high appreciation [Page 1094] of his Government for the respective help given by the Department of State in connection with the nullification of the 1941 agreement and the Siamese decision to return to Indochina the four disputed provinces. He said that his Government is fully aware that without our assistance this action would never have been taken by the Siamese Government.
