In its recent policy s;aterent, the British Labor Party
sharply emphasized its rejection of any close integration of
the UK with. Western Europe. Secretary General Lie released a
report on his European trip wherein he stressed the r cessity
of settling the Chinese represertation issue before the UM.'
could make any significant contxicution to easing world ten-
sion. Meanwhile they, UN Technical Assistance Conference obtainz-
ed financial pledges to implement its program. At t ac r London
meeting, the World Peace Partisans laid plans to set up a
"world peace fund" with which to promote the drive to bar resort
to atomic weapon.,
and. role of MEEK: in EtiraQean eco oml c Inter ratlon.
The entFTsiastle Treception given by the Ministerial Council of
the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) to
Secretary General tr~arjolin s prcpcsai for a long term program
to harmonize.national investment projects and financial pol_i-
cles reflects the desire of OEEC to play an increasingly im-
portant rile in the econor-.e integration of Europa? Specifically
"a.rjolin's proposal calls on each OEEC country to supply details
of its own proposed objectives for the next four or five years
and to lay down the main lines of its investment program and of
the policy it envisages to insure maximum developrent and best
possible use of its productive resources. Once this information
Is furnished, the CEEC will compare the national objectives 3
policies and programs and endeavor to harmonize them so as to
avoid contradictions and waste of resources
