This article focuses on the efforts of Western powers in building multilateral forces (MLF) to counter problems like cold war. It is impossible to say whether major crises will develop in the immediate future. Because of the implacable hostility that President of France Charles de Gaulle expressed for the whole project during his two meetings with Adenauer earlier this month, some German spokesmen are now saying that there is no desperate hurry about it. A curious argument being used is that there was a great hurry to get MLF settled before the Soviet Union President Nikita Khrushchev's visit to Bonn, but that since there will now be no such visit the project no longer has the same urgency.
