Purpose of visit Is General Kocnie's desire express to President Eisenhower his views on critical French political situation and suggest as possible remedy the necessityational arbitrage to settle differences between the various parties, to be conducted under the auspice6 of General De Gaulle. He will explain to President Eisenhower that General De Gaulle'sprestige to effect such an arbitrage is evidenced by the visits he has been receiving from leading personalities of practically all French parties seeking his advice and opinion."
