Schuman Plan Drafted.

The article reports on the draft treaty for the Schuman Plan created and finalized by representatives of six Western European nations including France, West Germany and Italy in Paris, France in March 1951. It notes that the draft treaty is yet to be approved by the parliaments of the member nations. According to Jean Monnet, French economic planner, the Schuman Plan can replace the barriers that have separated and impoverished the member nations. The U.S. is cited as having played a major role in persuading an agreement over the draft.
