The Ambassador in France (Caffery) to the Secretary of State
406. Schuman and Chauvel1 were both very pleased with results of London meeting.2 First of all they were pleased with outcome of conversation on European federation. They opposed sending conclusions back to experts and advocated that they should be handled by permanent committee at London and this was finally accepted by the others. Although it is not clearly set out, it was generally understood, they say, that voting in the Consultative Assembly shall be “individually”.
They were pleased that nobody objected to inclusion of Italy in Atlantic Pact.
Turkey and Greece were discussed but no conclusions reached.
Report of Military Committee, Supply Board and Committee on Subversive Activities were routine.
Report on cultural activities and social matters were included in communiqués.
