...Federalist. Rey, 65, has been in the business of building Europe since the end of World War II. As Belgian Minister for Reconstruction, he was one of the earliest supporters of the Schuman Plan, which led to the European Coal and Steel Community. As Minister of Economic Affairs, he helped found the Common Market, becoming one of its nine original commissioners in 1958. Like most dedicated Eurocrats, he wants a Europe united politically as well as economically. But Rey has no intention of turning the Market into the French-dominated society expounded by De Gaulle.

Thus we find it difficult to understand how he could...

In the Tuxedo Park statement, he and his colleagues declare that the American record in Asia is "a remarkably good one, worthy of support"--one "of which we can be proud." If Reischauer is indeed proud of a policy that by his own admission has not done everything possible to end a war that is costing hundreds of lives every week, then his values are very different from our own and from those that would...
