Some brought to Paris the ex- pressed belief that the Conven- tion should outline a constitu- tion for the United States of the Atlantic, Others brought merely the hope that we might gingerly jower certain mutual tariffs. But finally, all were agreed that, for survival in the face of the pow- | erful communist drive, the At- |-lantic nations must unite our su- | perior strength, just as we im- mediately would in a hot war; and that we must form an econ- | omic and political community of | the Atlantic and complete this | process within ten years.
