Fool or Knave? Early last week somebody leaked the story of Strauss's maneuvering to the New York Times's Correspondent Cyrus L. Sulzberger. The infuriated Spanish press charged that Sulzberger's source was NATO Secretary-General Paul-Henri Spaak, "a Socialist and an old enemy of the Spanish regime," and that the whole thing was a Jewish-Masonic plot.

He and others saw it as more than a problem of cold-war advantage. Recently Dwight Eisenhower remarked: "I believe that the problem of the underdeveloped nations is more lasting, more important for Western...
France Alone. With the big partners at odds, the smaller among the 15 partners in NATO-bureaucratically known as "the less directly responsible powers"-were demanding the right to be heard. NATO's Secretary-General Paul-Henri Spaak, who wants a thorough re-examination of policy, is convinced that "we are at the beginning of a new phase. I believe that the Russians need a long period of peace...
