They pounced on the phrase,"perseverance and patience," which to them opened up a vista of endless conferences, endless hopes, endless delays. Though Churchill insisted that he saw "no contradiction" between bringing Germany into EDC immediately and simultaneously "faithfully striving to reach a workaday understanding" with the Russians, others did. In France, Churchill's words gave fresh encouragement to the foes...
