Economic Foundations of Pan-Europeanism

THE movement toward the organization of the economic solidarity of Continental Europe has progressed with rapid strides since CoudenhoveKalergi launched his Pan-European appeal in the midst of the Ruhr struggle and since Mr. Loucheur two years later gave it an official and economic expression by his resolution in the Assembly of the League, calling for a World Economic Conference. While in the early stages almost every one agreed with the general view that Europe's industrial and economic future was dependent upon her ability to provide, out of the balkanized continental market, a unit at least roughly comparable to the large home market of the United States, the great difficulty lay in the formulation of a program for definite action towards the fulfillment of this objective. From the discussions initiated by the committee which prepared the World Economic Conference of 1997, two broad tendencies are slowly emerging. The first, under Mr. Loucheur's leadership, is based on the idea that the first steps will have to be taken through the organization and the public encouragement of private industrial agreements.' The second-primarily under English and Dutch leadership-seeks a solution by a direct attack upon tariffs. THE Two ROADS
