Washington, Nov. 19. The French Prime Minister, M. Pierre Mendes-France, today a 25-nation European security rejected the Soviet Union's proposal for conference on November 29 as "childish, unrealistic and even dangerous". Sweden has also made its position clear to Moscow: she will reply "when there is evidence of general acceptance by other states invited."
Western diplomats interpreted this as a polite rebuff to Moscow since only Soviet satellite countries are expected to attend the conference,
