All Europe waited on their decision, yet there was little to be felt or seen of the profound sense of history that had reigned at the London Conference and shone in its decisions. A bored-looking, frock-coated usher placed the inevitable glass of milk at Mendès' right hand, and in a flat, disappointed voice, the Premier began to speak. Mendès was off form.

It gave Frenchmen the assurance they most had desired, the prerequisite they most insisted on before letting the Germans, whom they do not trust, rearm.
