Economic Phase Of Atlantic Pact
Regarded By EC A Officials Fully
As Important As Its Military Aims
By CLARKE BEACH
WASHINGTON. The Atlantic pact has more than a military
meaning to some highly placed Economic Cooperation administra
tion (ECA) officials. They regard It as good economic medicine
for western Europe In fact, as one of the most far reaching steps
yet taken toward economic cooperation and development
Customs walls and other trade
narrlers have long been the chief
obstacles to the expansion and
modernization of European In
dustry. The barriers were erect
ed largely for purposes of mili
tary security, to build up home
industries so that each nation
would be self sufficient In time
of war.
But now with the eru of col
lective security, in which each
country agrees that its sole hope
of safety lies in defending all of
Western Europe, old inhibitions
are being removed. The move
ment hasn't gotten far yet; but
the general principle has been
accepted, and the ECA men have
seen many signs of progress.
Their idea is for Europe to
arrange a new division of labor,
each nation specializing In the
work it can do cheapest and best,
relinquishing industries which
have proved uneconomic. There
has been a tendency to try to
develop solely for strategic rea
sons such enterprises as steel
nlants and oil refineries in coun
tries which are not naturally
adapted for them. One plan
which is percolating In the minds
of the Western European plan
ners is that France might be
come the chief manufacturer of
the Jeep, large numbers of which
are needed in military opera
tions. It can -be cheaply and
efficiently manufactured only on
a mass production basis.
And there is already a tendency
for (Jreat Britain to become the
chief, or sole, producer of jet
engines. Britain has proved it
self pre-eminent in the field of
light engineering, and nearly all
the Western European nations
are buying or planning to buv
Britain's jet engines. The British
might establish Jet engine fac
tories in other countries, such as
Belgium or France, but they
would maintain ownership. The
Netherlands Is thinking of going
in for mass production of radio
and radar equipment. And s o
forth.
One of the chief reasons for
relatively low rate of producti
vity in many European indust
ries Is that they nave not engaged
ard of living In the United States.
Turning out products on an as
sembly line basis has made high
quality and low cost possible.
But to have mass production
you must have mass markets.
In Europe the markets up to now
have been largely domestic the
buyers have been chiefly those
persons living within the same
customs walls as the industries.
As customs barriers fall mass
markets would develop.
Another reason for Europe's
economic backwardness has been
the lack of initiative on the part
of "protected" industries. Since
customs barriers prevented for
eign competition, the home in
dustries have had no incentive
to seek ways to reduce the cost
ot production. Faced with com
petition, however, industries seek
to reduce costs by improving
labor management methods, mo
dernizing plants and plant man
agement techniques and search
ing for better and cheaper ma
terials. Europeans have been Impress
ed with America's large area of
Iree trade commerce without
hindrance of customs walls
among almost 150,000.000 p e r
sons. And it was primarily the
search for military security, a
union against England, that forc
ed the somewhat hostile 13 col
onies to merge their economic
interests.
"I believe that Western Europe
is now taking the path of the
American colonies," said one im
portant ECA man. "Yoou can g?t
more real unity through military
-eci'Ht" than through any other
method." i
