...years. But in Berlin's last hour, the Big Four had issued a communique setting up still another conference, in Geneva, Switzerland, April 26. There, with Communist China sitting in, they would discuss, first, Korea (with all nations that provided troops for the Korean war invited), then Indo-China...
...mere invitation to Peking give Red China a new status among nations, and wasn't that a step toward de facto recognition?

Even France's Bidault, under heavy pressure for negotiations that might halt the wasting Indo-Chinese war, stood sturdily with his Western colleagues in demanding that any conference should be confined to specific issues. The West's proposal was for a Big Four meeting on Korea first. If this proved fruitful-and only then-the Big Four could call another conference on Indo-China, in which China and the Indo-Chinese states would participate...
