announce recognition of B_ao. T)ai's regime in Vietnam,
together With-the governments At Laos and Cambodia,
as "associated states" of, the French Union on or shortly
after 7 February 1950. The Foreign Office points out

the fact that the three Indochinese states are not `'fully
independent," overriding political. considerations assure
UK recognition. Meanwhile, Embassy Belgrade expresses
the belief that the Government of Yugoslavia will extend
recognition in the near future to the rival pro-Communist
Vietnamese regime under Ho Chi.Minh.
