UN General Assembly

77. The other day we listened with great interest to the speech by Mr. Spaak [1138th meeting] in defence of the European Common Market. We should like to think that in the long run the European Common Market will not mean a decline in the trade of the market countries with countries outside. The Belgian Foreign Minister, however, completely ignored the countries of Latin America and concerned himself solely with allaying the fears of other areas which are promised associate membership of the European Common Market. It is a good thing that in this way many are able to enjoy its advantages. But what about those who are materially unable to enter the Market? Will it be said of us, in the words of the Bible, that many were called but few were chosen?
