Back Down. Dismayed by the French proposal, Secretary of State Dean Acheson called in the French and British ambassadors, and talked consecutively to them for an hour and ten minutes. Soon the French backed down a bit, said that they propose a low-level conference of ambassadors or even lesser officials, not a full-dress foreign ministers' parley; they also want a tightly restricted agenda which Russia would have to agree to in advance. Next step: a meeting of the Big Three foreign ministers in London later this month. Originally Dean Acheson intended to visit England only...
...Public Enemy No. 1. From billboards and posters, through the press, film and radio, in incessant speeches and slogans, the U.S. is reviled as an imperialist and an aggressor. Even the mild-mannered Madame Sun Yat-sen chuckled with glee when drawing our attention to a cartoon depicting Dean Acheson . . . as a 'bacterial bug.'" Moraes noted that Chinese who speak English with an American accent are nervous about where they got their education; he met one Columbia-educated Chinese interpreter who, while favoring American-style clothes and flaunting an American fountain pen, carefully made it clear that...
Alexander S. Panyushkin, Russia's Ambassador to the U.S., was in a rare, talkative mood. He told newsmen who had gathered outside Dean Acheson's office that he was "supremely happy." What about?

At 5:12 p.m., the six Foreign Ministers, flanked by the U.S.'s Dean Acheson and Britain's Anthony Eden, made their way through a battery of klieg lights to an E-shaped conference table. France's Robert Schuman tapped for silence. "Our aim," he said, "is common security and the safeguard of peace." Quai d'Orsay functionaries, inscrutable as croupiers, pushed stacks...
...have seen," said Dean Acheson, "the beginning of the realization of an ancient dream-the unity of the free peoples of Western Europe." The dream had been caught and mounted in EDC's 131 articles and 15 annexes which established, on paper, a six-nation European Defense Force (EDF). The U.S. and Britain support EDC-but from a distance; they are backers but not members. EDF's 2,000,000 ground-force soldiers would in time wear the same uniforms, use the same weapons, serve the same commander in chief, SHAPE'S Marshal of France Alphonse Juin...
