...Chairman Walter Hallstein, the Six have been plunged into their "first real crisis-a crisis of confidence." In European capitals from Bonn to Rome, France's Common Market partners spoke bravely of ganging up on De Gaulle, perhaps by blocking his plans for associating France's former African colonies with Europe, or even by boycotting French goods...
Spurned Fortune. In Cairo, under Nasser's protection, Krim worked with other North African exiles for the independence of Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. But he was disgusted by the terms on which freedom was won; he claimed they were too favorable to France.
