‘From Montoire to the Clock Room and vice versa.' For the French cartoonist Henri-Paul Gassier, commenting on 24 June 1950 in the French Communist daily newspaper L'Humanité on the opening of negotiations on the Schuman Plan four days earlier in Paris, the proposed coal and steel pool endorsed by Robert Schuman and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer is comparable to an act of treason against French interests and a repeat of the meeting that took place between Pétain and Hitler in Montoire on 24 October 1940.
