Into Europe
Sir: Hard pressed to adduce specific advantages which Britain is likely to gain as the result of relinquishing a great deal of sovereignty and joining the EEC, pro-Marketeers often postulate that our entry will militate towards European peace. It could have the opposite effect, In 1918 Trotsky announced that the proletariat's task was the creation of the Republican States of Europe "as the foundation of the United States of the World." World government is also a declared aim of the European Movement, though, with such diversities of colour, race and creed, and human nature being as it is, obviously this could only be in the form of a dictatorshiP upheld by force of arms.
Then, in 1951, Dr Adenauer, in the country which cradled National Socialism, declared that the creation of a politically strong Europe was the only way leading to the recovery of Germany's Eastern territories.
