Abstract
"European listeners! I address my words to you as one of your own; as a German, who has always considered himself a European, who knows your countries and their cultures, and who has always believed most profoundly that the economic and political conditions in Europe are obsolete and part of the past. This division, through arbitrary borders of states and sovereignties, caused the ruin of our continent. For myself and everyone who shares my views the idea of European unity is a dear and a costly one; it represents something quite natural for our thinking and our will. It was the opposite to provincial narrowness, petty egoism, nationalist brutality, and nationalist arrogance; it means freedom, a breadth of views, spirit, and the good."1
