FOUR-POWER MEETING
French Support For Churchill
PARIS, September 20. The Congress of the Radical Party, the fourth most powerful party in France, today reiterated Sir Winston Churchill’s demand for a meeting of the Big Four Powers—Britain, France, the United States and Russia. It states in a resolution that a FourPower meeting should negotiate on all outstanding problems in a spirit of mutual understanding.
The resolution also said that the party favoured a European community, but it expresed misgivings at the proposed European Army. Although less numerous than before the war, the Radical Party, with 75 seats in a National Assembly of 627 seats, still remains in many ways representative of the average- Frenchman. . The Congress showed that the French middle classes, whom the party chiefly represents, are far from indifferent to the question of transferring part of their national sovereignty to a supranational body, in which they fear a strong Germany will play the dominating part.
