Preston Manning, leader of the opposition in the Canadian House of Commons, has made a similar proposal. The dream of a federated Europe goes back a long way, to 1917, in fact. At the end of this war I see Europe re-created, not by the diplomats, but by the proletariat. The Federated Republic of Europe the United States of Europe that is what it must be. National autonomy no longer suffices.
Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers.
If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.
