“EUROPE NOT A DERELICT”
“THE TIMES” COMMENTS ON U.S. OPINION (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, September 25. “The Times,” in a leading article, says: “It would be a dire misfortune if the United States ignored the urgency of Europe’s immediate needs, but it would be at least as unfortunate if she were led to underrate the vast potentialities of the Continent.
“The current tone of American discussion suggests that there is need on this side of the Atlantic to make it plain that Europe is not a derelict continent likely to prove a constant liability to the New World, but is the home of 400,000 people endowed with a great variety of skills and masters of both an industrial and agricultural economy of signal importance to the world at large.
“It is to be hoped, indeed it is essential, that Western Europe shall be considered as a good investment rather than as a wreck to be salvaged or a political mercenary to be pensioned.”
