filled the President in on his
secret talk with Sir Winston and
his failure at the six-nation
Brussels conference to get ap-
prevail of the sweeping revisions
he demanded in the European
Defense Community pact.
Alternatives Studied.
If Sir Winston and Mr.. Men

tentative to EDO during their
talk yesterday, it was a top dip
lomatic secret. Following the
four-hour meeting at Chartwell.
the Churchill country home out
side London, they announced
only that they had agreed to
"early and practical steps" to
maintain Western unity.
Official sources disclosed the
two leaders reviewed all possible
alternatives for rearming West
Germany and restoring full SOW
ereignty to the Bonn govern
ment il EDO fails.
Facing Mr.. Mendes- France
was the grave decision on wheth-
er to try for another new set of
notifications in the EDO treaty
or let the French National As
sembly begin a ratification de-
bate, scheduled for Saturday, on
the pact DIS it stands.
The premier himself had in
sisted that the notifications he
demanded at Brussels were nee
essary to win French ratifica-
ton. Some members of his cab
met favor the pact as it stands,
but others oppose it unless it is
drastically altered. Whichever
way the premier swings, he is
bound to lose support.
Cabinet Survival i'm Doubt.
There was some doubt among
politicians today whether his
cabinet could survive the treaty
debate.
Former Premier Antoine Pinay.
a supporter of Edo, suggested
last night that the six West Eu-
ropean allies go ahead with the
scheme for an l8-month trial
period.
Mr.. Pinay said his proposal
had the support of the powerful
Popular Republican Movement
(MRP), whose members are
among EDC's chief French
hackers.
Georges Bidault, oftentimes
Foreign Minister and an MRP
spokesman, also insisted that
France back edo as 1t stands.
Mr.. Bidault's statement ap-
peared to be an ultimatum from
the MRP that it would oppose
any alternative solutions which
would not impose definite limita-
tons and controls on German
rearmament.
Daniel Mayer, leader of a
Socialist bloc opposed to EDO,
demanded that the treaty should
be put before the National AS
sembly, either to be approved or
rejected.
Mr.. Mayer clearly was con-
fident the Assembly would kill
EDO.
Political observers were in
clined to agree that the army

Dulles Publicly
Urges French
To Join edo
Still Hos Hopes
For Ratification
Of Army Proposal
By jones E. Roper

Secretary of State Dulles ap-
pealed publicly to France today
to join the European Defense
Community rather than stand
apart"
Mr.. Dulles volunteered to his
news conference that he deeply"
regretted that France at meet
ing in Brussels Saturday decided
against going along with the EDO
ideas of five other nations ready
to sign the treaty to form a
European army.
Mr.. Dulles said the proposed
treaty "embodies principles which
are vital to the perpetuation of
peace and freedom in Western
Europe" He clearly blamed
France for damaging edo pros
poets so badly that Mr.. Dulles
can only hope-but not expect
that the plan can be revived.
Sees Defense justified.
Mr.. Dulles also told his news
conference:
/. United States naval forces
pledged to protect Formosa
against Communist invasion
would be justified in defending
some Nationalist-held islands in
the Formosan Straits.
2. He hopes the September
Manila conference on Southeast
Asia will take action to create
a new and dependable barrier
to Communist expansion in that
area. The arrangements probab-
ly include economic as well as
military plans.
8. On his way back from
Manila, Mr.. Dulles may visit
Formosa and Japan.
4. He does not intend to par
ticipate in the fall political
campaigns. \ !
Recalls Hull Talk.
Mr.. Dulles recalled today is
the 10th anniversary of a meet
ing he held with then Secretary
of State Cordell Hull about non
partisanship in foreign policy.
He said "the non-partisan APP
proach to foreign policy then be-
gun has continued throughout
the ensuing decade"
Mr.. Dulles. during his discus
sion of EDO, said in reply to a
question that the law barred the
United States from sending nom
EDO countries any military sup
plies that were not in the pipe
line by last January l. Mr..
Dulles emphasis today, however,
was on moral persuasion of
France rather than the use of
threats.
Reads Statement.
Mr.. Dulles said his position on
the problem was contained in
the following statement which
he read as the news conference
opened:
i deeply regret that at the
Brussels meeting France did not
decide to agree with the other
five continental countries which
signed the EDO treaty.
THAT treaty embodies prin-
ciples which are vital to the
perpetuation of peace and free
dom in Western Europe. How
