Britain's House of Commons has already ratified. Iceland followed last week. In Italy, seeing that an overwhelming majority is for ratification, Communist Boss Palmiro Togliatti agreed to limit debate in the Chamber of Deputies, thereby presumably assuring ratification before Christmas. That left Germany and France as the crucial tests...
