...Europe, effectively limits most of its loans to the Commonwealth and the sterling area. France imposes such heavy restrictions on capital that only 15% of the investment of its own businessmen comes from the capital market.

Considered in any light, the U.N. mission was bound to raise welts on British backs, and so the Foreign Secretary also clung nervously to possible alternatives. In the shadow of Lord Home's strikingly Gaullist pronouncements on the proper function of the U.N. lay two profound fears: that the new federation would injure British financial interests in Katanga, and that the casques bleus would march firmly into any settlement...
