Sir: Did the six nations of the Common Market suffer

the same nervous questioning as we do before they formed the Market?

If so, have their fears proved well-founded or ill-founded? After fourteen years' experience do any of the six nations wish they were not in the Market? Do any of their political parties agitate to quit? Is there any substantial group of people within the Six who want to leave?

If not and the people of the Six are satisfied that they have bene- fited greatly from the wider oppor- tunities, why is it thought that the British will not also be able to benefit?

Do some people believe us to be inferior and seek to cover up this belief by pseudo-patriotic breast- beat i ng ?
