Leading legislators from the con-

which has been meeting in Paris

It will be debated by parliament

partners in the union-France,
West Germany, italy, Belgium.

and observers from Britain and

committee will take back its draft
for probable revision and repol-

lin final form to the six continental
foreign ministers by March 10.
Eighty-seven MPs Of the spon-

was formed last September to
write q confederation charter.
They will be joined by 13 observ-

Neither the best efforts Of the

economic progress in 1852. It's

though accomplishments were far
behind plans.
Thanks in part to American
assistance. India met its 1851 food
crisis, improved its overall eco
nomic position and looked with
confidence (not entirely shared by
outside observers) to solving the
problems of feeding and support

ground in 1852 and enters the
