Ratification Of
EDC
Denver, Colorado, Aug. 25.
Mr Adlai Stevenson, 1952 Democratic candidate for the United States Presidency, has written to M. Pierre Mendes-France, the French Prime Minister, telling him that American support for EDC was above partisan politics.
Mr Stevenson issued this statement regarding the letter: "I wrote a personal letter to my friend, M. Mendes-France, with whom I had had several long talks during my trip last year, because I, like most Ameri- cans, was alarmed by developments in France with respect to EDC.
