McKay Addresses Local UN Group On Western Unity

The Atlantic Community cannot be termed a "Going Concern" until it achieves its basic objective, the permanent containment of Communism. said Donald C. McKay '27, professor of History, last night. He spoke at Littauer Auditorium under the auspices of the United Relations Council of Harvard.

But McKay did not envision the early development of an Atlantic Community in terms of a "strong, close-knit organization which always has its goals clearly in mind." Such a community can only be achieved gradually, he maintained, through the economic and political strengthening of Europe.

Economic Integration Crucial

Economic integration is the most important problem standing in the way of European unity, said McKay.

The European Recovery Program, he continued, is one way to achieve the strengthening and consequent unification of Western Europe.
