During and since the meeting, the Paris press, particularly that of the Right and Left, accused Bevin and Acheson of bullying France into accepting a new dominant Germany. They recall Schuman's telling a press conference, for instance, that, though there would be a slow-down in dismantling German industry, such plants as the huge Thyssen Steel Works in the Ruhr, which made ten per cent of the Reich's war output, would definitely not be removed from proscription. On Thanksgiving day, when the protocol was announced, however, dismantling of Thyssen came to a half...
...Elysées. A sleek Cadillac bearing U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson swung around the Rond-Point, headed for the French Foreign Ministry on the Quai d'Orsay. Round the other side, headed in the opposite direction, sped a Citroën bearing French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman.

But Washington let it be known that the matter of Western European unity was uppermost in the Secretary's mind...
When Robert Schuman replaced him as Foreign Minister in 1948, Bidault sulked for a while on the Riviera, then plunged back into party politics and was elected president of the M.R.P.
