When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.

You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them.

You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times... and safely home again.
