Europe Says No

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on British statesman Prime Minister Clement Richard Attlee's visit to Washington. There are two significant facts about Attlee' s visit to Washington. First, the decision to go was not an act of free will; he was propelled, against any previous intention of his own, by one of the most amazing political upheavals in Europe since the war. Second, Attlee's decision thus forced has made him a man of at least temporary power equal to the earth's big two, the U.S. President Harry S. Truman and Soviet general Joseph Stalin. What propelled Attlee was essentially a rebellion of free Europe against the kind of leadership America was giving to the West on the Korean issue.
