FIRST IN A SERIES OF FIVE
We in America are now making a decision. Some have play
ed and still do play the part of a mythological Saturn. Birth has
been given by us to this being, the ZeuS of our twentieth century
tale. And now our offspring threatens us. He does so in the most
effective sphere, that of economics for our whole being as a great
nation is structured upon this. Even our military might is made
only right by the wheat and steel and the thousand other com
modities that undergird our policies.
What then shall we do? Shall we, as some have done, try
to kill our child? Or shall we, because a conciliatory step .has
been taken (Trade Expansion Act) accept bac kour son? Let
us heed the tale of Saturn and Zeus. To be a joint ruler, ^
think, is better than to be no 'ruler at all.'
Up From Rubble
In March, 1943, even in the war years a radio broadcast
was made on the then preposterous idea of a United Europe.
After the war this almost unnoticed speech became the basis
for another add reps by Mr. Churchill.-Again only a theory was
given. Only a dream was given. But three months after Zurich
he founded the United Europe movement in Great Britain.
In June of 1947 American statesman George C. Marshall
urged United States economic aid to a dismembered continent
From this came the Paris Economic Conference to give form to
the dream.
Others were working along the same lines. As early as May
of 1946 industrialists, economists, and several union leaders join
ed in publishing surveys for later plans. It now seems as if there
were.men of all those war-torn countries looking for a precious
gem. Needed was a source of illumination so they would not
have to search in darkness.
The Marshall Program was that light! It provided the mon
ey, the capital, the means for this end of reconstruction, of re
growth which was to become itself, as now we see, a means for
yet another end.
