backfired.

system
and
that

is
leing
hampered
by
the
millions
of
dollars
diverted
to

But
in
doing
so
it
has
fanned
fear
and
hatred
of
Communism
to
such
a
point
that
the
western
powers
seem
prepared
to
sink
their
differences
in
a
defensive
alliance
of
great
potential
strength.
Western
Union
came
into
being
in
1348
and
promises
to
flourish
on
an
ever-expanding
scale.
Britain
took
the
lead
this
year
in
rallying
western
Europe
to
a
"get
tough"
policy
with
Russia.
Blunt
burlv
Foreign
Secretary
Bevin,
who
had
labored
with
unusual
patience
to
work
in
comradeship
with
Russia,
cast
aside
restraint
in
January.
The
Russians
were
hostile
to
the
European
Recovery
Plan,
he
said
in
a
House
of
Commons
address.
They
seemed
to
think
"they
could
wreck
or
intimidate
western
Europe
by
political
upsets,
economic
chaos
and
even
revolutionary
methods."
His
cry
for
an
alliance
against
Russian
strategy
was
answered
within
a
few
weeks
when
Britain,
France,
Belgium,
Holland
and
Luxembourg
bound
themselves
for
50
years
to
collaborate
"in
economic,
social
and
cultural
matters
and
for
economic
self-defence."
The
way
was
left
open
for
other
nations
to
join
and
by
the
year-end
all
is
in
readiness
for
the
addition
of
Canada
and
the
United
States,
and
possibly
the
Scandinavian
countries.
Western
Union
marks
a
radical
departure
in
British
foreign
policy,
which
had
striven
to
keep
aloof
from
Europe,
intervening
wily
when
the
scales
of
power
tipped
too
heavily
in
favor
of
one
nation
or
bloc.

From
with
Russia
was
possible,
the
western
powers
have
moved
to
settle
the
affairs
of
western
Germany
on
their
own.
The
first
step
was
taken
late
in
YX1
by
the
fusion
of
the
American
and
British
sones,
which
affected
great
savings
in
administration
costs.
The
following
June,
after
month
of
negotiation,
the
United
States
and
the
five
Western
Union
powers
reached
agreement
on
the
principles
on
which
western
Germany
might
be
re-established
as
an
independent
nation.
The
terms
were
accepted
grudgingly
by
France,
which
was
suspicious
of
any
move
lo
create
a
powerful
Germany.
Bevin
told
the
House
of
Commons
Britain
had
not
abandoned
hopes
of
agreement
with
Russia
over
German
but
it
would
be
impossible
until
they
could
reach
an
understandine
that
w.ukl
jpr-mit
freedom
of
'
speech
and
"real
liWty
of
the
per-ion."
'Meanwhile
there

in
Berlin

and
eventually
cut
off

and

the

zones.
.
Responding
quickly
and
dramatically,
Britain
