Premier-Designate Pineau Praises Mendes-France
Paris, Feb. 14.
M. Christian Pineau, Socialist leader, and the third-man this week to try to form a new govern- ment for France, began operations today by having a long-talk with M. Pierre Mendes-France and issuing a statement praising the defeated Premier. Some politicians considered this almost provocative statement showed the war-time resistance leader was more concerned with preparing for a new left-wing coalition under M. Mendes-France than with taking over the govern- ment at present.
"Premier Mendes-France 11-
