1425. For Acting Secretary and Assistant Secretary Dunn. When I took Judge Rosenman18 to call on General de Gaulle this afternoon, General de Gaulle said to me as we were leaving: “It seems clear now that your Government does not want to help our troops in Indo-China. Nothing has yet been dropped to them by parachute.” I spoke of distances and he said “No, that is not the question; the question is one of policy I assume.”
