一般注記The names given on the t.p. are those of a "Committee on Europe" which had its inception in 1938. The first conference of the Committee was held at Atlantic City in May 1940 at which time "it seemed too late ... for a 'Committee on Europe' and on Europe alone. It became as a temporary nucleus, without any further specification, a 'Committee, ' tentatively, 'of fifteen.'" At a second conference held at Sharon, Connecticut in August 1940, William Allan Neilson was elected chairman and G. A. Borgese, secretary. cf. p. 108-113.
