by Miriam Camps Research Associate, Princeton University
The European Free Trade Area agreement, recently initialed in Stockholm, has been supported in this country and elsewhere primarily as a bridge-building operation between the Seven and the Six. Miriam Camps, who has been making a special ttudy of the subject for the Ford Foundation and P.E.P., suggests that the trouble with the Stockholm plan is that, although it lays the foundation for a bridge with the Six, it is the kind of bridge that the Six find even less acceptable today than they did a year ago.
