The new Europe

Sir: Your leader claims that we do not know what sort of Europe Mr Heath plans, even though, as you point out, he has compared it to the Europe of Charlemagne, Napoleon and Hitler (September 16). I would advocate reading Mr Heath's Old World, New Horizons and add some extracts.

". . . for the new generation the attitudes of mind . . . which unite them are far greater than the nationalist feelings which divide them. It knew nothing of the War or its background, it took no part in it, and it does not feel in any way committed to its consequences. . . . European countries concerned (in the Market) were movingon from the nation state because in their view it was inadequate to meet modern requirements . . . the old form of nation state had failed them. . . . Each member of the Community has had to make changes in almost every aspect of its policy. . . . If it (the Community) succeeds in becoming an economic union . . . then a new range of subjects which are the essence of politics, for example the form of taxation or the level of social security, will have to be added to those already taken by the Community as a whole. . . . I do not myself think that defence will be excluded indefinitely."

All these predictions are coming true: the Community is committed, with Mr Heath's agreement, to economic union with a single currency by 1980, and as Mr Heath says, this means extinction of the

remaining powers of the British government. Willy Brandt, the redlining Ostpolitik FEIhrer, announced this February that he foresaw a Euro-Army within ten years: useful in case we try to do a Katanga. Again, the reason why we are airlifting in over 50,000 Uganda Asians (the advance guard for several million more) is that we have been ordered to do so by the European Human Rights Commission. Europe has answered the problem which defeated Hitler: to consolidate a union, replace the indigenous population with a new one.

Hence it is useless to appeal, as you often do, to Mr Heath to consider the national interest first and foremost. This attitude pertains to the "old form of the nation state," but Mr Heath is a European first, and to ask him to put Britain first is like asking one of Hitler's gauleiters to put his Gau above the New Order as a whole. For Mr Heath, Britain is a non-nation," and the unlimited immigration required by Brussels will soon convert this assessment to irreversible fact.

Your Leader advocates collaboration with our new masters: is this not inappropriate in the week which featured the TV programme If Britain Had Fallen? David Lazarus 38 Cedar Road, London NW2
