Description of the sourceNewspaper article in English from the Times newspaper. Newspaper accessed from microfiche archives held in library available for public use. Copyright remains with the Times.
Contextualisation of the sourceThe Times is regarded as a conservative newspaper. Reports on the EEC and it’s foundation, through the Treaty of Rome, appeared in March 1957 with further reports regarding British involvement appearing later in the year. British fears were expressed in a number of articles before and after the Treaty of Rome.
Interpretation of the sourceThis short article expresses concerns at the changes that joining a common market would bring to Britain. This article suggests quite dire consequences for Britain should it join the common market and is quiet negative in it’s approach.
