In other words, sadly but realistically, Von Brentano considered that the Hungarians were too brave for their own good. NATO's new Secretary-General Paul-Henri Spaak glumly called the Hungarian revolt "the collective suicide of a whole people...
French papers at once angrily charged the U.S. with an "apparent desire to impose on her allies a code of international rules, all the while reserving the right not to respect them herself."

Few speakers succeeded in rising above the grimly mirthless atmosphere of the occasion. Belgium's Foreign Affairs Minister Paul-Henri Spaak, famed as an extemporaneous orator, armed himself with a copy of an old speech, liberally quoted himself, explained that he couldn't express his sentiments any better than he did five years...
