Britain Pledges Aid for European Army

Eden said Britain will maintain armed forces on the European mainland including Germany to contribute a fair share to NATO defense. He stated a British armored division could join an EDC corps and that RAF units would join European air groups under integrated command once European forces form. France demands guarantees against withdrawal and US guarantees before ratifying. Eden said the US shares NATO commitments and a full US position statement is expected soon. He avoided joining EDC, saying it could lead to Federation of Europe, and Britain has drawn as close as possible to the EDC framework.
