30 Int'l Conciliation 341 (1953-1955)
European Coal and Steel Community

handle is hein.journals/intcon30 and id is 1141 raw text is: EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY In April 1951, six nations of Western Europe decided to embark on a collective enterprise designed to substitute for historic rivalries a fusion of their essential interests; to establish, by creating an economic community, the foundation of a broad and independent community among peoples long divided by bloody conflicts; and to lay the bases of institutions capable of giving direction to their future common destiny. The European Coal and Steel Community was set up under the terms of a fifty-year treaty. What is it to which these six nations have bound themselves for such an unprecedented length of time? Does this new v enture herald an era of supranational organizations or is it merely another cautious step along a familiar road? Can an organization limited to the sector of coal and steel succeed or should it be extended progressively to new areas of the economy? It is to questions such as these that the present issue of Inter- national Conciliation is addressed. JOHN GOORMAGHTIGH has since 1950 been the Director of the Endowment's European Centre, which now has its headquarters in Geneva. He holds the doctorate in law from Brussels University and, after World War II, practiced law in Brussels. His long study and interest in international relations led to his appointment in 1947 as Director of the Institute of International Affairs in Brussels. Under his editorship the Institute's Chronique de Politique Ex- trang~re quickly took its place among the influential European journals in this field. He has been active in the International Political Science Association. ANNE. WINSLOW May 1955 Editor-in-Chief
