A communique issued at the conclusion of three days of conferences between the French Minister for the Associated States of Indo-China, M. Jean Letourneau, and senior United States officials disclosed that the United States was already bearing one-third of the total cost of the war. in Indo-China.

The communique said that in the common struggle against Communism, strategic factors and local and general resources required that the free coun tries each bear part of the responsibility for assistance in the specified areas where Communism had resorted to force of arms.

It explained that the United States had assumed a large share of the bur, den in Korea while France had the primary role in Indo-China.

The partners, however, recognised the obligation to help each other in their areas of primary responsibility to the extent of their capabilities. and within the limitations imposed by their global obligations.

SURPRISE

Mild Statement

On Germ Warfare

United Nations, June 18.

Russia called a meeting of the UN Security. Council on Wednesday, to consider its germ war fare charges and Jacob Malik surprised everybody by simply appealing for support of the Geneva Convention outlawing the use of bacteriological weapons without, delivering a propaganda speech against the United States.

Malik 'spoke less than twenty minutes and delivered an appeal for support of the Geneva Pro- tocol of 1925 in restrained terms. It had been anticipated he would use his position as president of the Council for June to parade discredited charges that the US forces, have used germ war- ' fare in Korea.

"

He simply pointed out that 48 countries had signed a treaty outlawing bacteriological wea- pond and 42 had ratified the In-. strument. He said that only the US and Bruzi among the mom- bers of the Security Council had talled to ratify it..

He said the threat from bacteriological weapons makes it Imperative that the United -Na- tions take the necessary steps to prevent their use as weapons."
