"1. That Europe a Nation shall forthwith be made a
fact. This means that Europe shall have a common government
for purposes of foreign policy, defense, economic
policy, finance and scientific development. It
does not mean Americanisation by a complete mixture
of European peoples, which is neither desirable or possible.
"2. That European government shall be elected by a
free vote of the whole people of Europe every four years
at elections which all parties may enter. This vote shall
be expressed in the election of a parliament which will
have the power to elect a government and at any time to
dismiss it by vote of censure carried by two-thirds majority.
Subject to the power of dismissal, government
shall have full authority to act during its period of office
in order to meet the fast-moving events of the new age
of science and to carry out the will of the people as expressed
by their majority vote.
"3. That national parliaments in each member country
of Europe a Nation shall have full power over all
social and cultural problems, subject only to the overriding
power of European Government in finance and
its other defined spheres, in particular the duty of eco-.
"4. That economic leadership of government shall
be exercised by means of a wage-price mechanism, first
to secure similar conditions of competition in similar
industries by payment of the same wages, salaries, pensions
and fair profits as science increases the means of
production for an assured market, thus securing continual
equilibrium between production and consumption,
eliminating slump and unemployment and progressively
raising the standard of life. Capital and credit
shall be made available to the underdeveloped regions
of Europe from the surplus at present expatriated from
our continent.
"5. That intervention by government at the three key
points of wages, prices, where monopoly conditions
prevail, and the long-term purchase of agricultural and
other primary products alone is necessary to create the
third system of a producers' state, in conditions of a free
society which will be superior both to rule by finance
under American capitalism and to rule by bureaucracy
under communist tyranny. . . ."
