The Schuman Plan
SIR,—I should like to say, as a regular reader of the Spectator, how grateful I was for Mr. Hamilton Kerr's article in the Spectator of February 1st. It throws real illu{nination on the difficulties surrounding the acceptance of the Schuman Man both in France and Germany—and it makes clear that the best statesmanship cannot avail without that change of heart in the individuals affected, which can allay fear and suspicion and make a lasting basis for unity. I am sure this is the factor we need to have emphasised in all international relationships today, and
then we need to have firm proof, as Mr. Hamilton Kerr gives, that such a change is practicable and is the onlysanswer.
I am very glad that the Spectator is making this good news available in days when there is much to daunt our hopes, and I trust we may hear more in your pages of this new spirit at work in the world.—Yours
