SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
WESTERN EUROPE
Ambassador Bruce in Paris believes that the
time has come for the US to press actively
for a quick conclusion of the Schuman Plan negotiations. He points out
that French Foreign Minister Schuman and German Chancellor Adenauer
seem anxious to bring the treaty to a conclusion and that the major
issues have been now clarified sufficiently to permit a final decision.
Bruce expressed his personal conviction that the adoption of the Schuman
Plan should provide France much of the security it seeks with regard to
Germany and that the existence of such a decisive community of interests
would facilitate, for both the French and the Germans, a solution of the
question of a German contribution to western European defense. Bruce
feels that an expression of our interest to the six participating countries
in an early and successful conclusion of the Schuman Plan negotiations
would considerably facilitate the task of those in Europe who are pressing
for quick action.
Meanwhile, in a conversation with High
Commissioner McCloy, Chancellor Adenauer said that the signature of
the Schuman Plan was urgent and that this would make possible the
solution of other problems. Adenauer indicated, however, that there
were certain outstanding problems, particularly the status of the Ruhr
Authority after signature of the Plan, upon which agreement must be
reached before the Plan could be accepted by the Germans. In this
connection our Embassy in Paris reports that in informal discussions
with the French Schuman Plan delegation, the French took a particularly
constructive position which would go far in meeting the German position
on the Ruhr Authority.
