Full Text
Secretary of State Acheson and other administration leaders feel that congress may become stubborn over foreign aid funds if they can not show real progress in European unity and the incorporating of German troops in the defense plan.
The greatest difficulty appears to get French Foreign Minister Schuman and West German Chancellor Adenauer to stop their bitter feud which threatens the whole defense project. There are two main points for their disagreement: (1) France is afraid of a resurgence of aggressive German nationalism once the Germans begin to rearm; (2) West Germany wants assurance that if its troops are to participate in the defense set-up it will have a voice in N.A.T.O. decisions.
