General Dwight Eisenhower, the North Atlantic supreme comman- der in Europe, said today that the North Atlantic defence system would not be successful unless Western European nations matched American sacrifices and efforts.
General Eisenhower made a vigorous appeal for all the North At- lantic nations to build up their defences. He spoke at a Press conference prior to his departure on Saturday on a tour of the capitals of Western European members of the North Atlantic Pact.
