...annual coal outputs, totaling 220 million tons, and steel outputs, totaling 38 million tons; by making products salable, tariff-free, in a market of 155,000,000 people; by making labor fluid, free to meet manpower supply & demand without passports; by sinking Europe's traditional tight little cartel islands which hold production down-by doing these things the Schuman Plan can liberate the European economy...
