FIGHTING IN SAIGON

STILL GOING ON

Cannes, May 3.

Ex-Emperor Bao Dai, in a telegram to Premier Ngo Dinh Diem, today declared he "impugned" the National Congress, the illegality of which," he said, "does not even require demonstration.“

Ngo Dinh Diem had announced earlier today he would call a National Congress to meet in Saigon next Thursday with participation of political parties, local and provincial figures and the army leaders.

It would aim, he said, at allowing the nation to participate more fully in the country's affairs.

•

Bao Dai's telegram stated: "Following your télegram of today I wish to inform you that I impugn this Congress, the illegality of which does not require demonstration. Under present eircumstances and while civil war is in full swing" a Congress meeting in Saigon must be dominated by a revolutionary faction, and could not express the wishes of the people.

"Such & Congress could not claim to decide upon the destiny of a nation and yet resolutions voted at it would entail very serious consequences.

"I consider that your honour and dignity would not permit you to endorse such an imposture which would plunge our people in further miséry and would turn the Vietnam into a hotbed of unrest in South east Asia and would therefore inevitably lead to the country's downfall."-France-Presse
