The countries of Europe are faced with a difficult choice: should they maintain their borders, or should they, with their 300 million people, their enormous productive capacity, their intellect and diligence, help themselves to a better future? To do this, borders must be cut, tariffs disappear and common sales markets created. The first milestones on the way to achieving this great goal are set: Marshall Plan, Schuman Plan, European Payments Union, North Atlantic Defense Organization and Council of Europe.
