As Dr. Pentland put it, " we gained the impression of the community as a dynamic force, as a kind of trade vortex which acted as a pole of attraction for many countries around it, not the least the United Kingdom which eventually made up its mind that it had to get on the train before it went too much farther out of the station" (28:8)
Comme le dit M. Pentland : «la communauté nous apparaît comme une force dynamique, une sorte de vortex commercial vers lequel sont attirés de nombreux pays dont le Royaume-Uni qui se décide finalement à prendre le train presque en marche» (28:8).
