EUROPE
1, ITALY: Attitude toward Schuman plan negotiations --US
Ambassador Dunn in Rome reports that the Italian delega-
tion to the Schuman plan negotiations has been instructed
to maintain and defend a "truly European attitude," while
at the same time endeavoring to "keep the door always
open for the UK." The Italian delegation was reminded
that the objective of the negotiations is to assure free
access by Europe to coal, steel, and ore at non-discrimi-
natory prices and was authorized to make sacrifices relat-
ing to the elimination of uneconomic plant capacity in Italy.
Dunn adds that the Italian Government recognizes that a
workable agreement may be obtained for the continent that
would not attract the UK and that, in such an event, the
fate of the Schuman plan would depend on the US attitude.
