ECONOMIC COOPERATION FOR
WORLD SECURITY

Extracts from recent address at
Vienne, France, by Louis Dou-
cheur, industrialist and former
Cabinet minister.
Is it necessary to point out the
causes of the economic and financial
malady that afflicts Europe Ger
tainly its origin is to be found in the
only cause of the situation in which
we find ourselves today.( For my
part, l attribute part OF the re-
possibility to errors committed be-
fore the war.
The exaggerated development ON
industry in the latter part okbel
10th Century caused the gI
disappearance of agricultural
and as result of the effort to- u. ~ u,
industrial products it has, become
necessary to import every day mord
of the necessities of life.
Certain nations, whose territori,
were rich in raw materials, 81
ahead of their neighbors; others
like Germany, courageous and dar-l
ing, developed beyond measure their
means of industrial production, with
out paying enough attention to the
consuming power of their own
people; thus they were Obliged to
seek vast export markets, and as a
result they got into economic strug-
giles with other nations.
A first solution has been proposed
the United States of Europe. The
idea is very attractive, especially in
view of the increasing competition
with the industries of North Amer
lea. But here great obstacles pres
ent themselves; the industry of a
country is not merely the result of
its economic needs; national defense
plays an importan part.
If then one wishes to achieve a
Europe with it's customs barriersa
removed, in which each nation can
work unhindered for it's own life,
one must remember that such
dream can only be realized when the
idea of peace shall have continued
to make it's vigorous way and when
the international institutions shall
give people confidence which they
have not yet done.
That is the idea of the Inter
national Economic Conference which
is to meet next spring, and to which
all nations will be invited. Let the
nations come together, let them
examine effectively their economic
ills. and seek together the means, if
not to cure them, at least. to
neutralize their effects.
But, in conclusion. l insist again
that for such a program to be pos
sible, the work of peace must be
pushed forward and developed
That is why we are working at
Geneva to prevent any conflict from
breaking out without having it's
causes clearly exposed. We are
endeavoring to have every dispute
submitted to the processes of COM
pulsory arbitration, and to have any
nation that desires to avoid those
processes confronted by all the
civilized nations.
