Paris, June 2.
French opposition deputies today called for a "reappraisal" of French Far Eastern and foreign policy on the second day of the vital debate in the National Assembly on the Indo-China war.
Gaullist, Conservative and Communist de- puties also bitterly criticised French Government policy in Indo-China.
