He noted that as chaplain of the University of Rome in the mid- 20s, Paul--then Father Giovanni Battista Montini--"was very conscious of, and involved in, some of the dominant social issues of the day.

One concern, which the U.S, shares with Britain and Italy, is that an economic group dominated by the West Germans would end up with conservative fiscal and monetary policies that would severely limit economic growth. Another fear is that the ECU, once established, would invite speculators and governments from Togo to Turkey to dump dollars for the ECU currencies, thus bringing more downward pressure on the dollar.
