Abstract: Any discussion of European economics and Eu ropean defense will not be practical and realistic unless based on the assumption that Britain is essentially a part of Europe. Economically, Europe, including Britain, is playing a vital role in the development of the underdeveloped countries. Britain's contribution represents a greater proportion of its resources than that of the United States. Militarily, for the purposes of collective defense, including nuclear defense, all the nations of the North Atlantic alliance, both North American and Euro pean, are interdependent. Their collaboration must be organ ized on a basis of equal partnership. With this end in view, we are now seeking to enable Europe to play a more influential part in the policy-making, the management, and control of the nuclear power of the alliance. Western economic and defense policies must support each other. The Cold War is, in many ways, a total war. The Communist total challenge must be met by a total response—political, economic, and strategic.
