...presence of the Chinese highwaymen, along with two infantry battalions equipped with antiaircraft guns who came along to protect the work crews, has alarmed Laotian Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma, who has always treated his northern neighbor cautiously.

After a trip to London, where he met again with Prime Minister Wilson for his country's sake, and before going to Paris to meet with President Pompidou and some members of the new French government for the same reason, the Prime Minister of Laos spent exactly three weeks on a cure for stomach troubles at one of the quietest and most remote of French spas, Plombieres in the Vosges.
