...Gentle Thrust. Monnet believes that the dynamics of the economically successful Common Market can work with equal success in the political sphere. The "Community character" being forged among EEC countries, says Monnet, provides Europe's "real unifying factor" (fédérateur}, a gentle thrust at President de Gaulle, who recently said that only an outside fédérateur, not European initiative, could bring about political federation. Some members of Monnet's committee had urged him to take a stronger stand against De Gaulle and his advocacy of loose federation, but wise old Monnet...
Honestus: Several factors help perpetuate the system. One is the inherent momentum of Government aid programs: once they get started, it is hard to stop them. The recipients of aid come to depend upon it and to regard it as an inalienable right; the bureaucrats who administer the programs acquire an interest in preserving and justifying their functions and powers. Another factor is sentimentality-a feeling that farm life fosters the old-fashioned virtues.

Businessmen have broader horizons, pursue export sales more energetically. A still small but significant factor of change is the Spanish women. More are going to universities than ever before.

Actually, much of the credit belongs...
...President's concern could be seen in last week's economic straws in the wind. The gross national product, which the Administration had earlier predicted would hit $570 billion this year, now seems unlikely to rise higher than $555 billion to $560 billion. Business inventories-a big factor in determining G.N.P.-should be rising at this time of year; instead, the April inventory figures, in terms of sales expectations, showed a slight decline. New factory orders for durable goods have declined for the third month...
