The Economist April 26th 2003, Europe 25
Charlemagne | Divide and rule?
The United States has unfamiliar doubts about the merit of
European integration
If that is so, it would mark an historic shift. Ever since the
second world war, the United States has promoted the idea of an
"ever closer union" in Europe, often with considerable energy.
In 1948 an American Committee for a United Europe [*1*] was
formed, boasting such luminaries as Allen Dulles, an early head
of the Central Intelligence Agency, on its board. Throughout
the 1950s this committee funnelled money towards individuals
and organisations in Europe that were bringing the fledgling
European Economic Community, forerunner of today's EU, into
being.

[*1*]
SIR - You scribe that the American Committee for a United
Europe, formed in 1948, "boasted such luminaries as Allen
Dulles, an early head of the Central Intelligence Agency"
It is peculiar that The Economist does not mention the name
of the founder of this committee: Count Richard
Coudenhove-Kalergi - the father of the united Europe. He
scribes in his memoires:
"Before our return to home I founded on the 18th April 1948
the American Committee for a Free and United Europe of the
leading personalities of the United States. It was to maintain
the interest on the idea of the United States of Europe and
continue my work during the last years in America. William
Bullitt [former ambassador of the U.S.A. to Moscow and Paris
and a friend of Coudenhove-Kalergi and Hjalmar J. Procopé, the
ambassador of Finland to Washington, who in 1947 together with
his becoming wife Brita translated Bullitt's book "The Great
Globe" into Swedish --AK] helped me decisively with this
founding and he accepted the vice-presidency. The president of
the committee became senator Fulbright, and I
[Coudenhove-Kalergi] as a founder and only non- American
member, the honorary president. The other members of the
committee were:
Herbert Hoover, ex-president of the United States, Robert
Patterson, ex- secretary of defence, James A. Farley, president
of the Democratic Party, Norman Thomas, a socialist president
candidate, John W. Davis, ambassador, Donovan, general, Robert
M. La Follete and Burton K. Wheeler, senators, Hale Boggs and
Christian A. Herter, congressmen, William Green, president of
the Confederation of Labor, Karl Alter, catholic bishop of
Toledo,
Dr. Stephen Duggan, director of the Institute of
International Education and professor of political sciences at
the College of the City of New York, one of the founders (1923)
and the last president (1940-50) of the IALA - International
Auxiliary Language Association that created INTERLINGUA (a
Latin-based international language as a common language for
practical use in the united Europe; Interlingua was developed
during 1924-1951 as a result of immense international
cooperation of eminent linguists), close friend to
Coudenhove-Kalergi, founder and president of the American
Cooperative Committee of the Pan- European Union (in 1925,
active again 1940 - when Coudenhove-Kalergi and the Paneuropean
Union, chased by GESTAPO, exiled to the United States.)
Harry Woodburn Chase and Robert J. Gannon, rectors; Harry D.
Gideonse, president of the Brooklyn College; George N. Shuster,
president of the Hunter College; Allen Dulles, president of the
Council of Foreign Relations, former chief of the CIA; Richard
S. Childs, president of the Citizens' Union; Philip D. Reed,
president of the General Electric Co.; Robert Moses,
commissionary of the parks of New York; Hans V. Kaltenborn,
radio commentator; Arnold J. Zürcher and John Y. Keur,
professors; Fredrick W. Gehle, Joseph J. Larkin and George E.
Warren, vice-presidents of the Chase National Bank; Clayton
Fritchey, redactor-in-chef; Thomas Watson, president of the
American Business Machine Co.; Clare Boothe Luce; Alice
