Better Anglo-US Understanding
Now Discernible
Washington, May 24. Anglo-American relations on Indo-China ques- tions appear to have taken a turn for the better in the last few days, according to diplomatic
observers here.
They point to a number of recent trends towards a greater unity between the hitherto separate, if parallel efforts, of the State Department in Washington and the Foreign Ofice at the Geneva conference, to rest and main- tain the security of Indo-China and Southeast Asia.
