...since outgoing President Vincent Auriol is still in office, Coty stays out of sight at all diplomatic ceremonies so no one will be confused by double-headed protocol. Last week France's Presidents, old and new, worked together on another matter: to keep the government of Premier Joseph Laniel on its feet for the Four Power Conference at Berlin...
Tradition, but not law, requires the Premier to resign when a new President takes office. Last week it was agreed that Laniel would tender his resignation this week; that Auriol, with Coty's concurrence, would refuse the resignation and ask the Premier to continue in office; that Laniel would then go before the National Assembly and request a vote of confidence.

Last summer, when Premier Laniel's government promised sovereignty for the Indo-Chinese states within the French Union, Bao Dai (who was once an emperor and is still referred to as Sa Majeste) began playing an ardently pro-French line. Feeling his position menaced, Tam tried to bolster himself by joining the Vietnamese nationalists, but they would have none of him because of his earlier pro-French record...
