In 1938, they saw Hitler's envoys make their cynical pledge of peace with France. Last week, the cupids watched over another scene of hope; the Foreign Ministers of France, Italy, West Germany and Benelux were signing the Treaty Establishing the European Defense Community, the military equivalent of the Schuman coal...
