Paris, June 20.

The French Foreign Minister, M. Robert Schuman, today opened at the French Foreign Office the six-nation conference on his plan for merging European coal and steel industries.

Delegates from France, Western Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg were present when he launched what has been called by its supporters the greatest industrial experiment in European history.

M. Schuman regretted Britain's absence and said he hoped that even now British doubts and scruples would give way in the end.

"We cannot conceive Europe without her," said M. Schuman.
