WHY EUROPE?


4/22

It is already evident that, before the

United States Government canproceed much further in its efforts toalleviate the situation and help startthe European world on its way torecovery, there must be some

agreement among the countries ofEurope as to the requirements of thesituation and the part those countriesthemselves will take......the initiative, I

think, must come from Europe

George C. Marshall, 1947


5/22

Problems are arising that only Europe and

the United States togetherhave theresources to deal with.......It is evident

that we must go a good deal further

towards an Atlantic Community. The

creation of a united Europe brings this

nearer by making it possible for America

and Europe to act as partners....

Jean Monnet, 1962
