A discussion of the changing relationship between culture & language resulting from the political integration of Western Europe. It is argued that if economic & financial considerations control the processes of European unity, cultural decay & degeneration will be the outcome. The Dutch language will disappear only if the Netherlands accepts cultural indifference. It is recommended that the Dutch government assertively take responsibility for maintaining Dutch cultural identity while remaining open-minded about other European cultures. This combination of cultural identity, sovereignty, & respect for other cultures implies cultural universalism. D. Schwartz
