Abstract

The Allied Consortium for Russia

Previous to the meeting of the Supreme Council at Cannes, a group of economic and financial experts met first at Paris, France and then at Cannes to discuss the reconstruction of Europe, in particular means of drawing Russia into the West European economic system. Europe is paralyzed. Her industries are disorganized; her foreign trade has seriously declined. A great part of her population suffers from unemployment, and even, in Eastern Europe, from starvation. The transportation systems of Central and Eastern Europe are in such anarchy that the flow of commerce has been dammed. Financial experts propose the creation of an international corporation free from governmental control, on the basis outlines in the attached annex.
