In that respect the Assembly's vote was another demonstration of Europe's reviving will to live, and as such it is more thun welcome. But as Mr Churchill warned, to translate that will into action will require mole speed and more drastic steps than all Governments have displayed thus far. But the new attitude of all is significant for another reason, and that is thní, it envisages the inclusion of Germany in the West-European defence system. In that respect thought today goes beyond the confines of the North Atnutie Puct, which projeels a North Atisnile defence organisation without German participa- tion. It marks the growing recognition Germany is just is essential to European defence

its economle stubllity, and that in the view of mest Authorities Western Europe is indefenst- ble unless Germany "shares its perils and augments its strength." The question that must still be answered is how and to what extent this German participation is to be brought about without crenting further dangers. The Germans tlsem- selves are none too eager to offer them- selves, partly because of resentment ngainst allied measures following their defeat, partly because of fear that any kind of ferman rearmament would only provoke Soviet aggression unless such rearmament can be carried through under the protection of an adequate Western defence force. Moreover, the destruction of all German Industries enpable of war material production has postponed éven the utillantion of German industriai power fur military purposes for at least several years. But where there is a will there should be a way, and the crention within 2 united Europe of European
