East of the Iron Curtain last week, the odds were that the average German horseplayer would have a hard time getting up enough cash to get down a bet. But well-heeled horseplayers were as necessary as well-bred horses if the "International" race meeting in Berlin's Soviet zone was to pay off, so East Berlin bureaucrats "cordially invited" their prosperous West German cousins...

When France refused to help make that protection, the Committee shut off dollar aid. It reasons that since the Coal and Steel Community was to have been the economic framework for EDC, French rejection makes the Community nearly valucless. What the argument ignores is that the ECSC is necessary for a strong economy, and that by injuring this economy the Senators are knocking the backbone...
