Early Stages in the Organization of “Shapeâ€

Author

  • Knowlton, Lieutenant Colonel William A.

Abstract

Thousands of words have been written on “strains within NATO†and the “conflicts of interest†which attend any international organization. For several years—almost from its inception—various prognoses have been made as to how soon NATO or its subordinate agencies would fly apart from the centrifugal forces of diverging self-interest. As early as 1953 General Gruenther warned that with the recovery of self-confidence, the cohesive glue of fear would have less effect. Yet, as Secretary Dulles stated last spring at Copenhagen, we are often inclined to ignore the successes of NATO and to concentrate on its problems.
