Prince Buu Loc Puts Independence First,

French Union Second

Paris, Mar. 10.

Negotiations for the complete independence of the Vietnam Republic of Indo-China were re- sumed here today in an atmosphere of tension after being suspended all day yesterday,

The talks started off badly on Monday be- cause the Vietnam Prime Minister, Prince Buu Loe, said nothing about staying inside the French Union or Empire.

This produced reactions in yesterday's Assembly debate and enabled the Gaullists to insert in the re- solution adopted by the Assembly a sharp reminder that France was fighting in Indo-China because of the constitutional links between her and the Associated States of Laan, Cambodia and Vietnam.

The resolution added: "Any - tefradiation tur the existing (mm) links with the French would tree France of her obliga- lion to the Assoclated States

In other words, France withd feel free to pull her troops cut of Trio-Lima i the Vietnam Iepublie Fonsidered indepen- dence isompatible with mein- beralls of the French Union
