The reaction in Paris political circles (except
Communists) to the President's message continues *o be
highly favorable and 33 a result, our prestige is
high. Radical, MRP, independent Republican and
Socialist leaders have all been making special occasion
to speak to me about it These leadors of the Center and
Left are unanimous in their conviction that the
President's policy mesiage will, more than anything which
has occurred since the Liberation, serve to unite
different Democratic Fronch elements which are opposed
to Communism. They mate no bones about the faot that
the Communist party bucause it is directly backed by
Soviet Russia, one of the two greatest povers", has had
the Indian sign on other political parties to such an
extent that they have :3en neutralized or rendered impotent
through fear and a sense of inferiority. The President's
message has served to take them feel that they are not
isolated and alone. They see in the message & clear
indication that the United States understands and is
assuming its new resposibilities which they had feared
we might be unwilling to shoulder.
The above reaction is ast limited to Paris alone. I
have received telegraphic reports from the different
consulates in Frence indication that the reaction throughout
the country is similar 1o that set forth above.
