The Schuman plan offers real assurance in this direction. The most effective way to prevent Germany from making another attack against Western Europe is to consolidate her heavy industry in the Ruhr with that of Belgium, France and Luxembourg under an autonomous authority controlled...

Dr. Haas frankly admitted that even with the precautions he suggested, it was still likely that the first knowledge of such an attack could come some days after it had happened, when the victims began to fall ill.
