Secto 410. Repeated information London 261, Paris 408, Bangkok 20, USUN New York 14. Department pass USUN New York. I spoke to Eden this morning along lines Tosec 378.1 He feels very strongly we must not complicate present situation in Geneva by insisting upon broadening Thailand appeal to Laos and Cambodia.
