By FRANCOIS DUCHENE
The London Economist

LONDON.-By their Christ
mas compromise the six coun
tries Of the European Common
Marke France, Germany
Italy and the Benelux trio
have once again shown that
in a crisis. they are not read,
to break up their unity. Ever
now, after Gen. de Gaulle'
veto on Britain a year ago, thu
Common Market lurches OF
from strength to strength.
That veto made 1t plain that
until Gen. de Gaulle leaves thu
political scene, the road Il
European unity and the Atlantic
partnership launched by thu
late President Kennedy will b
strewn with obstacles. But now
the ability of the Six to over.
come the very large obstacle
blocking their way these last
weeks makes it likelier than al
any time since the veto thai
henceforth even the genera
will find 1t hard to abandon
the journey.
Specifically, he has done
we'll out Of the latest compro-
mise. He set the deadline for
extending the Common Market
to dairy products, beef and rice
before the end of the year, an6
the Germans have taken the
point.
Three Countries Favored
He has seen to 1t that Eu-
rope goes ahead with farm
trading policies that favor
France, Holland and Italy
before anyone is in a position
to be very precise about what
will emerge from the coming
Kennedy round of tariff talks
Thus the "link" which the
Germans wanted between
European agriculture and the
Kennedy round looks pretty
frayed.
Yet this will probably prove
a Pyrrhic victory in the end.
1t has often been said in the
past that the Common Market
had passed the point of no re-
turn. The crisis Of the last
weeks showed that this was not
true. But after this Christmas
decision it probably is true.
Hitherto, all one could really
say of the Common Market was
that, with duties on manufac-
lures among the six reduced by
so per cent from what they
we're five years ago, it was COM
mitted to free trade. But the
heyday of free trade, before
1914, was also the heyday Of
nationalism. 1t was easy enough
for Gen. de Gaulle to commit
his France to free trade with
out giving UP nationaliSm.
Threats to Lose Force
But something new now
enters the scene. Once So pei
cent of the SKIS farm output Is
involved In the European
system-a government-man.
aged market, like all farm
markets everywhere in the
world-it will be impossible tx
avoid the growth of an embryo
government covering the Com.
mon Market as a whole. Thu.
we see Europe taking the first
tentative but real step away
from nationalism.

INTERPRETATION -
Market Is Unified
Despite De GouIIe

BY the time the next crisil
comes. the generals threats, i
he makes them, will no longel
carry the same weight: no ont
will really believe he can flou
the wishes Of his farmers a.
well as his industrialists. Thu
odds now are very much or
European community institu.
Itions gathering strength
whether the general likes them
or not land almost certainly he
does not.
True, even though Gen. de
Gaulle cannot break up Euro
pean economic union, he car
hold up moves to Atlantic
partnership. But he cannot
prevent them in the end. Fol
this last year seems to prove
that his challenge has in
creased and not lessened the
commitment Of his Common
Market partners to Atlantic
policies.
Germans Strong for NATO
The Germans in particular
have chosen the United States
whenever they had to make a
choice. The American Defense
Secretary, Robert Mcnamara
and his German colleague,
Herr Won Hassel, signed an
agreement in July setting up
Joint German-American strate-
gic and supply planning
which is more than the French
and Germans have managed.
When American policy
turned in favor of cautious
negotiations with Russia this
summer, Herr Schroeder, the
German foreign minister,
decided on a policy Of move
ment." This means keeping in
step with America even while
trying to make the steps very
cautious indeed. And the Ger
mans are the strongest Euro
pean hackers of the American
sponsored NATO multilateral
nuclear fleet which the French
have refused to join and the
British would like to dodge.
This coming summer they, the
Italians. Belgians, Dutch,
Greeks and Turks are likely to
go ahead with America what
ever Britain decides.
Thus the kind Of European
unity one now sees coming up
over the horizon-the only
kind really in prospect - is
based on Atlantic ideas that
will probably outlive the gener-
ais tenure of power In France.
AS a result the Kennedy
round talks lose some Of their
central political Importance
they become more purely
economic. Doubtless the bar
gaining over clashing American
and European interests will be
tough; yet the balance OF
forces suggests it will end with
a compromise that may not
satisfy everybody, but will
outrage no one.
The important point is that
the ring is slowly closing round
Gen. de Gaulle'S rebellion
against Atlantic ways-and
that most Frenchmen are
satisfied to have it that way
Time is running short for the
general to break out Of the
ring.
