by DOUGLAS JOHNSON
Professor-elect of French History at London University
Was the Entente Cordiale merely an interruption to a normal state of suspicion and hostility between Britain and France? Professor Johnson suggests that the present coolness between the two countries about Common Market entry is a reflection of differences in attitude which are fundamental, not accidental and temporary; and that the radical tradition which seems now to be reasserting itself in France contributes greatly to these differences.
