Italy Is Ready to Lead European Nations in Union, Sforza Says By the Associated Press j ROME, Aug. 4—Italy is ready to take the lead in surrendering na tional sovereignty to effect Euro pean union, Foreign Minister Count Carlo Sforza said today. The 74-year-old statesman urged union now as the only cure for the continent's past war economic and i political ills and the sole hope for j peace. To bring it about and to do away i w'ith ‘ archaic frontiers and archaic ; customs duties,” he declared, this nation is ready to "accept curtail ment of its political sovereignty, even in the most unexpected a.s ! pects.” Other Must Do Likewise. He said there was but one condi tion: "That others do the same.” A long-time advocate of unity. Count Sforza had his hand j strengthened last week w’hen the Senate, in approving the European Recovery Program accords, urged their early development into effec tive union. Only Communists and fellow traveling Socialists demurred. The question of national sov ereignty has been and is one of the primary stumbling blocks in the way of a united Europe. "To say that European countries ought to federate.” Count Sforza said, "is to say that they must re strain in theif economic life useless : competition and divergent efforts. Autarchies C reate Misery. “It means renouncing progressive areas of sovereignty, customs bar riers, financial restrictions, anti j economic distribution of tasks and functions. j “It is these little and harmful autarchies that bear one single fruit: the misery of Europe.” It is necessary, therefore. Count Sforza said, “to reopen Europe to the (free) circulation of goods, of labor and of ideas." Italy knows, he continued, that this is the only way to arrive at that economic co operation “which is the basis and ' end of the generous assistance lent" 'through the Marshalla Plan.
