"EU" and Louis Adamic
(Public lecture in NewYork 1941)
On November 8,
1941, at the
Hotel Pierre in New York City, Adamic
spoke to 600 members of New York Branch of the American Association of
University Women. His topic consisted of part f his ARM (The American
Reconstruction Mission) concept; but as I have noted about all of the Two-Way
Passage idea, in America Adamic's idea got
shoved off to the Left. But here is the New York Times report of Adamic's remarks: "Louis Adamic,
author, presenting his idea for the reconstruction of Europe, proposed that
there be organized in this country twenty-odd provisional government ... to
be made into federated parts of a continental European State.<There would be one currency, one postal system, one
trade and traffic control, and so on,> Mr.Adamic
suggested ("Women"). Adamic's remarks
"and so on " seem to me to be something like a description of the
proposed non-communist New Europe of 1992 into which Adamic's
native Slovenia, and perhaps Croatia, and perhaps all Yugoslavia hopes to,
ought to, needs to, must (?) merge. So I'm not quite
ready to let Louis Adamic go just yet . . .
