Dulte 197. Eyes only Secretary from Under Secretary. Ambassador Dillon has telephoned suggesting that on my return I touch down Paris and see Mendes-France at airport on condition that he is invested, which Dillon expects today or tomorrow.1 Dillon says that Mendes-France urgently desires to see me. Because of French reaction to Churchill visit2 and for other reasons, I will do this, unless I hear from you to contrary.3 Plan to leave here Sunday afternoon.
