Baking France Puts Friends
OF Coal Steel Pool in d Quiyer

| it has been clear enough tha1
Mr.. Mendes-F France was M
champion Of the United Europe
ideal. In order to clear away
4 the political logiam that had SC
long paralyzed the French gov.
ernment, he was perfectly willing
to scuttle the whole project fol
a united Western European army
under international control
i When it came to finding q SUBJ
stitute, his formula called for q
military coalition along national
lines. In the treaty for a West
ern European Union signed in
Paris last month, there is little
left OF the original plan for an
overall "supra-national' control
OF Europe's armed forces.
VIII He Do II Again?
The question which puzzles
and disturbs the men Of Luxem-
bourg Is simply this: Will
es-France apply the same
formula when it comes to solving
the economic problems that con-
front his country? If real con-
flict arises between French eco
nomic interests and those of the
larger European community, will
ne just as cheerfully scuttle the
program for European economic
unification that has been started
here?
Leaders Of the Coal and Steel
Community, who believe passion
ately that the only chance for
european prosperity lies in CEN
tralized control and international
coordination, aren't too sure of
the answer.
On the surface, they have no
quarrel with the French Premier.
In general statements. Mr.
Mendes France has strongly
favored freeing European trade
from the jungle Of restrictions
and artificial national barriers
that for decades has stifed the
growth OF Europe's economy. He
has drawn the broad outlines
OF aSplan for reorganizing and
modernizing the French indus
trial plant, lifted import restric-
lions on q number Of products
and cracked down on govern
ment subsidies for wasteful agri-
cultural operations. All these
measures are warmly indorsed.
Uneasy Over Vague Remarks.
AT the same time, number
OF vague statements by Mr.
Mendes : France have caused
plenty Of uneasiness. on several
occasions. for instance, he has
come up with the idea that be-
fore France can consider enter
ing into open competition with
the rest of Europe the French
economy must be completely
overhauled and strengthened.
AT other times. he has referred
to the high cost of the French
social security system as a fac
tor in the high cost of produc-
tion. which automatically puts
France at disadvantage in COM |

petition With her neishbors.

j petition with her neighbors.
Most disturbing of all, to the
small members OF the commu-
nifty. have been his suggestions
for q strictly two-way sort Of
economic cooperation with Ger
many. including joint owner
ship of industrial projects in
North Africa.
The question being asked is
whether Mr.. Mendes- France may
not after. all turn out to be some
thing Of protectionist when it
comes to dealing with other ma
tions Of Europe. And whether
"co-o -operation" In his book means
bilateral deals in which the
French government retains COM
plete freedomtof action and the
interests Of the larger COM
munity are ignored.
If these suspicious are con-
firmed. the future of the Coal
and Steel Community and the
whole experiment in European
economic unification looks grim.
The People Approve.
Finally, there is no denying
that Mr.. Mendes- France, at this
point, is riding a strong new wave
OF French nationalism. His grow
ing popularity at home seems
based almost entirely on the
vigor-even aggressiveness-with
which he managed to reassert
Frances position and prestige in
the Western community. If, in
the process. he has knocked over
a number of carefully laid plans,
stamped on toes and generally
raised a rurnpus. the French |
people seem all the more inclined
to applaud. I
There is a tendency in France |
10 Snrug OH the complaint of out |
siders: That In all his dealings
Mr.. Mendes-France has consid- !
cred 1t his job to represent purely
French interests, without worry |
ing very much about the inter- |
ests Of others.
ALI these things seem to point t
to an ultimate clash with the
movement toward European un- /
ion which the Coal and Steel
Community represents. How Sc
rious the clash will be should
be known soon-as the French
Premier unfolds the details of
his economic program in the
coming weeks.
UNDERSTANDABLE enough, the
people here in Luxembourg are
waiting with impatience. for a
look at the fine print.

Second Of Two Articles

]
end OF last month, after more
than two years of dickering back
and forth between London and
Luxembourg, the announcement
Of Britain's association with the
European Coal and Steel Com
munity was expected. Final
terms Of the agreement had been
worked out few days earlier
between Jean Monnet, whose
/ resignation as president of the
high authority has just been
announced. and Duncan Sandys,
British minister of supply.
The exact details remained an
official secret. It was known,
however, that the proposed
British association although a
long way from outright member
ship in the community-provided
at least an important first step
toward the CLOSE and lasting
partnership which Mr.. Monnet
had always hoped for.
The French Balk.
Then. just when everything
was nicely arranged and the
press releases all written, the
French baked. When the pro-
posal was submitted for ap-
proval at the. Community's Min
isterial Council. the French dele
gate decided he would need an
other month to study it. He
suggested in the same breath
that perhaps some better form
for the British association could
be worked out in the meantime.
Since approval of the Ministerial
Council must be unanimous. that
was that.
Naturally, the coal and steel
people were upset. So were the
British, who had been told SO
often how badly they were
wanted in the European COM
munity and who considered the
whole show to be a very generous
gesture on their part. Every one,
to be sure. is being diplomatic
about it. There is no dispose
tion, at least, to read anything
especially sinister into the French
attitude, or to assume that
everything will not work out all
right in the end.
And yet, when 1t is tied in
with a number of other features
OF the Mendes-France regime.
this relatively trivial incident is
anything but reassuring.

From our ten years of shaking the news bushes on
Capitol HILL We conclude and say that the majority of
members OF Congress little than bunch of boys
who made good in their hometown precincts and hit pay dirt
in the doing.
Their principal talents lie in the fields of public speaking
and weaimed baby kissing In opinion neither political
sagac nor political xpedency need be rewarded by fancy
pay For the most part many of the lads who are
repeatedly in distressed circumstances with $4,000 year
never had it so good
Since the committee has fit to cry into it's report
over the hardshps of being member of the National
Congress and thinks strictly opight pay due-then We
recommend that the committee also recommend standards
and qualifications for holders of seats both houses Con-
gress We think the Committees reasoning that only top
hight men will be elected to office when the pay hits the top
brackets is somewhat thin since politics the pork barrel
have way Of remaining what they aretheosts and ideal
lists to the contrary.
The Committee has pointed out too that pay raise
for Congress and for the judiciary will cost
the taxpayers an additional SIS million year. We point
out to the committee it to look that it talks about
dollars and not potatoes to about $50 million people in the
United States who wish THEY had it so good.

holding employee appeals hearings behind closed DOORS To
our way of thinking this sort of procedure be turned

ana all sides OF the story in these nc canned
