‘The goose with the eggs of steel’. In the 5 December 1951 edition of the French communist daily newspaper L’Humanité, as debates are held in France on ratification of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), French cartoonist Vincent Carrier deplores the risks of the Schuman Plan, which will inevitably lead to West German rearmament. Feeding on French coal and steel, the goose (depicted as Robert Schuman), with Chancellor Adenauer on its back, is only managing to produce military helmets for Germany.
