On Cease-Fire

The French Premier, Pierre Mendes-France, the British Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, and the Soviet Foreign Minister, V. M. Molotov, met for more than two and a half hours at the British delegation's villa, in an effort to iron out the East-West difficulties blocking agreement.
Informed sources said afterwards that no progress at all had been achieved.
