UN General Assembly

149. Some days ago, I quoted an example of obvious collusion between the Viet-Minh and the Pathet Lao. It was the case of a petition addressed by the leader of former members of the Pathet Lao to the Head of the Government.

The only possible conclusion is that the Pathet Lao receives its orders by signal from Hanoi and there have been many similar examples. 150.
