Extract

Defense production officials of members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) met in Paris on January 25 and 26, 1955 to exchange views on defense production questions affecting the alliance as a whole. Among the subjects discussed were industrial mobilization, correlation of production programs, and standardization of arms. According to press reports, the principal significance of the meeting rested on the fact that many countries preferred this sort of consultation, perhaps developed as a permanent and recognized channel for action in the field, as an alternative to French proposals for a separate supra-national arms production agency.
