At the Moscow Conference
of foreign ministers in 1947, John Foster Dulles, later a
Republican Secretary of State, gave his well-known speech
'Europe must federate or perish' on the need for the
establishment of an European economic union. Following
the conference, Secretary of State George Marshall
censured his European colleagues opposed to the formation
of a European union. The committee of foreign, defence
and naval ministers, formed at the conference to examine
the possibility of US economic assistance to Europe
concluded that American aid depended on the successful
implementation of integration and the drawing up of an
economic programme between the European nations damaged
by the war. |
