...expiring Geneva Conference, and he revived the prospect of a negotiated settlement in Indo-China. He brought a transfusion of young, fresh blood into the trouble-hardened arteries of French government. He ended the long postwar dominance of France by the Catholic M.R.P. party, whose two leaders, Robert Schuman and Georges Bidault. have served as Foreign Secretary through 18 different postwar Cabinets.

The Schuman Plan was meant to be an economic counterpart of EDC's military partnership.
