...European Army just before the NATO session began (TIME, Feb. 25). Then four men gathered in London. Sitting down with Lisbon's Big Three-Acheson of the U.S., Eden of Britain, Schuman of France-was a man who was not even invited to Lisbon: Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.

Pleas & Warnings. As he mounted the rostrum and waited for the jingle of the little long-handled silver bell which starts debate, 76-year-old Chancellor Konrad Adenauer looked tired.

He had won other votes by his courage in replying to demagogic Communist taunts. He stated bluntly that the Schuman Plan would incidentally mean that the heartfelt issue of German reunification had to come second to Germany's joining in the West...
