NATO was construoted to meet a military threat; the Soviets have conceded, hopefully, that direct military attack on Europe would be disastrous for themselves, but have resultantly increased the tempo of their economic expansion.

Increased diplomatic cooperation was urged after the surprise invasion of Suez by Britain and France, but unfortunately little...
