Against Erhard's classic economic view is an older, more restrictive European feeling that things should really be better arranged. State planning was the goal of France's Jean Monnet, Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak, and many of the others, who germinated the Common Market, and it has been adopted as national policy by De Gaulle's France. The elaborate French plan sets production goals and controls for most of French industry, rewarding those who conform to the plan with government loans and tax breaks. Like Erhard, many men in the business establishment around the Continent...
...only to negotiate a test-ban agreement, he expects to "explore" other cold war problems, such as Berlin and Russia's failure to enforce the Laotian neutrality pact. On those matters Khrushchev so far did not appear to budge. Talking to Belgium's Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak in Kiev last week, Khrushchev said: "Berlin is the foot that Kennedy has in Europe. Every time I want to, I'll stamp...

Nikita's "reasonable" approach has helped the Italian Reds gain strength, has revived dreams of a new popular front among once solidly anti-Communist French Socialists, has even prompted Belgian Foreign Minister Paul Henri Spaak to say that the removal of U.S. nuclear stockpiles from Western Europe might not be such a bad idea after...

West Germany's Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard, who was in tears at Brussels when France blackballed Britain, went home breathing defiance of De Gaulle and threats to topple Konrad Adenauer. He got nowhere (see West Germany). And after all the oratory at Strasbourg, a "solemn protest" motion condemning De Gaulle's "domination" of Europe was defeated by a tie vote of 38-38-hardly...
Item. The Belgian Foreign Minister, Paul-Henri Spaak, made a public plea after the blackball that negotiations be continued without French presence. This idea, which would have violated the statutes of the Market, has been attributed by persistent rumors to American instigation. A similar suggestion was made to the German Foreign Minister in an eleventh-hour note from Dean Rusk...
