<Dl> <Dd> Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role . The attempt to play a separate power role--that is, a role apart from Europe, a role based on a' Special Relationship' with the United States, a role based on being the head of a' Commonwealth' which has no political structure, or unity, or strength and enjoys a fragile and precarious economic relationship--this role is about played out . </Dd> </Dl> <Dd> Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role .

He also seems to misunderstand the role of the Commonwealth in world affairs . In so far as he referred to Britain's attempt to play a separate power role as about to be played out, this would be acceptable if he had extended this concept to the United States and to every other nation in the Free World . This is the doctrine of interdependence, which must be applied in the world today, if Peace and Prosperity are to be assured . I do not know whether Mr. Acheson would accept the logical sequence of his own argument . I am sure it is fully recognised by the US administration and by the American people . </Dd> </Dl>
