Echoing Krag's fears. Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak flatly warned that the British proposal would not be permitted to delay "even for a single day" establishment of the six-nation* Common Market, which will constitute a tightly knit "little Europe'' within the larger Free Trade Area. The difference between the two is that Britain, for example, agrees to reduce its tariff barriers with the Six at the same rate as the Six reduce them with one another, but Britain would retain control over its own tariffs in trade with other nations. If all goes...
...stop and offer lifts. Strydom's police set up roadblocks to harass the drivers, checking and rechecking licenses and registrations, whipping out tape measures to see if the law providing a 15-in. space for each passenger was being observed, citing every letter of the law to delay the car-lift.

Monsignors Giovanni Montini and Domenico Tardini labored long in the Vatican as equal advisers to the Pope until Pius XII appointed Montini Archbishop of Milan two years ago. At the next consistory, Montini will surely be made a cardinal, and that should normally mean a red hat also for Tardini, now pro-Secretary of State. But Tardini refuses to be a cardinal; he has all the power and honor he wants, feels that the ceremonies attendant upon...
...turbulent situation in the South is ill-suited to the ponderous aspect of Senatorial procedures, and the Senate as a whole should recognize the awesome responsibility it will have to bear if delay follows delay and rights bills are once again lost in the hurry of a session...
