| Description: | President Charles DeGaulle holds one of his rare press conferences in Paris and stages another attempt to have the voice of France heard on the international scene. He wants to call a five-nation summit conference to re-shape the United Nation. This would involve Red China sitting down with France, Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States. An obvious impossibility according to US observers. In Washington, at his news conference, the President says he would have to study the proposal. Paris, France The city of Paris, France.

Johnson, "I have only seen the very brief press report regarding General de Gaulle's conference, which apparently has just concluded before this meeting, and I would much prefer to await a full report on the exact statement before getting into any detailed discussion involving the General's observations. It is the position of this country, however, we believe, that the problems of the United Nations are traceable not to the United Nations Charter but to those countries which have violated either the spirit or the letter of the charter, because we believe that the framework for world progress and peace is in the charter. And I will be glad to respectfully review any observations the General has made and give due consideration to them." | |
