All Hope Not Lost,
Says Mendes-France
UNITED STATES DISAPPOINTED
Brussels, Aug. 22.
Dr Konrad Adenauer said tonight that M. Pierre Mendes-France, the French Premier, had told him he had "not lost all hope" that the French Assembly would ratify the European Army treaty.
The West German Chancellor, speaking at a press conference, said M. Mendes-France told him today if France failed to ratify the treaty, he thought Germany should be given sovereignty without delay.
"But M. Mendes-France told me he had not lost all hope of seeing the treaty ratified by the French Parliament," Dr Adenauer said.
