...Sunday-suited burghers, many of them heavy workers from the Grand Duchy's steel mills, stolidly watched the nine-man High Authority of the European Coal-Steel Community take charge of an industrial colossus which will outproduce Russia in steel and rival her in coal. The Schuman Plan had become fact, and with it the ceiling imposed by the Allies on Ruhr steel production was finally lifted. Behind a battery of red gladioli in Luxembourg's City Hall, the men whose job it will be to sweep away Western Europe's tariff walls, crush its cartels, modernize...
...shoulders of the cheery-cheeked Frenchman as he sat breakfasting in the garden in his dressing gown, eating honey and yoghurt. Six nations this week crowned him a civilian Mr. Europe.

Barrachin's group noisily insists that they are still Gaullists at heart, and that they would resist the Schuman Plan and the European Army as bitterly as De Gaulle himself. But on economic issues, about which Pinay cares most, the Barrachinistes would do their best to save the franc. They proved it last week by standing by Pinay in a confidence vote on the échelle mobile, a cost...
...because the "deviating" French had misunderstood. They had also confused the task of the moment-the fight for "peace against America"-with the task of the future, which is, of course, the Socialist revolution. At the moment, said Fajon, the "struggle against American Imperialism" (i.e., NATO, and the Schuman Plan) is more important...
