confidential

Paris, July 30, 1950—9 p. m.

542. Re Deptels 518 and 528, July 28.¹ I saw Parodi² this subject yesterday and again today making strong plea for favorable attitude. Schuman³ is absent until Wednesday night but Parodi had discussed it with him. French attitude unfortunately characterized by great reserve as communicated noon today to Chauvel of which you no doubt already informed.

Department pass New York. Sent Department 542, repeated info USUN New York 3, London 160.
