Europe must be supranational or it will cease to
be ! That is the stark choice facing the European
Institutions and challenging also the mundialists, for
whom the mention of anything "supranational" is
inadequate so long as this is not taken to mean "global"
In the context of Europe we can distinguish various
possibilities :
- Europe as a juxtaposition of Nation-States, each
trying to defend its separate interests as is the case
today. European unity would then be no more than an
empty phrase ;
- Europe as a Super-state with total sovereignty,
leading to a conflict situation analogous to that
which causes two world wars involving 4 or 5 other
Super-States. Can we envisage a President of Europe,
even an elected one, pressing on a European nuclear
button ? 7 or 8 minutes later, Europe would have
disappeared from the map … according to this
second hypothesis, a united Europe would constitute a
flagrant risk ;
- lastly, European unity achieved on the basis of an
open federation, as a stage towards a world
federation. Naturally, this last is the only formula
that commends itself to most mundialists.
An Europe of this sort could then take the initiative
in bringing about :
- a World Disarmament Conference, calling on the
fact that certain clauses in the Constitutions of West
Germany, Italy, France an elsewhere foresee a possible
limitation of sovereignty in the interest of
establishing peace ;
- a world financial reform. Can we allow an
overabundance of ships, cars, meat, milk and the rest,
to continue to spell crisis ? After "modernization",
robot factories will produce even more ships, more
cares, more meat and more milk … and who will buy
these ? Robots ?
once given the immense production of robot factories
spread will over the world, we shall still face the same
problem : how do we make human beings solvent ? For there
will be millions of insolvent ones, newly made poor in
the rich countries, to add to the hundreds of millions in
the poor countries. Seeing the massive speculation on the
part of the world's rich, how can we guarantee the price
of raw materials on which the poor countries depend ?
Even if it adopts its own unified currency, Europe
will still have to instigate a world monetary reform on
the lines proposed by economists, such as Jan Tinbergen
(Nobel Prize winner), Pierre Mendés-France and
Charles Warin.
Besides, how shall we make the multinationals
answerable, particularly in the field of agribusiness,
without the existence of an universal code ? Finally, how
can we even safeguard the European environment, without
protecting the biosphere though World law ?
Like it or not, Europe, as well as every State,
depends on the welfare of the planet as a whole, and
Europe can therefore be no more than a stage towards
World Unity.
