...France cannot possibly accept this British behavior." But the shock waves have spread far beyond the Common Market. Britain, which only four months ago had such faith in Europe that it was ready to sunder its ties with the Commonwealth and with the European Free Trade Association, had to swallow its pride in Lisbon last week and make a desperate effort even to keep EFTA together at its first top-level meeting since February. The reason is that Britain's government has accepted the fact that it will probably not enter Europe during De Gaulle's lifetime...
