IN reply to Gary Webb and E W Carr, I'm sure they must have misconstrued the contents of my recent letter concerning Churchill and the Marshall plan.
In a speech Churchill gave in Zurich on September 19, 1946, he said: "We must build a kind of United States of Europe."
In 1950, after the Washington Agreement and the North Atlantic treaty that founded Nato, he called for a European Army.
Six countries signed the treaty of Rome in 1957. They were France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Italy. Britain was invited but refused to attend.
