Immediately after leaving Count Jordana, the French envoy had a long telephonic conversation with the Foreign Minister, M. George Bonnet, who is in Paris. Although strict reserve is shown on both sides, it is believed in Insurgent political circles that part of the talk between Senator Berard and Count Jordana left no doubt whatever that the French.
