WANTS EUROPEAN
FEDERATION NOW
Prominent Englishman in
Favor of 1t.

LONDON, Sept. Is.-Since the idea OF
A European federation first came up, il
has spread with amazing rapidity not
Only among those who are almost
crushed to the ground by the heavy
military and naval burdens imposed on
the taxpayers of every European coun-
try. but, also, among the well-to-do
and rich. 10 whom the payment OF
few thousands more IN taxes matters
little.
Some time ago Andrew Carnegie ex-
pressed the opinion that universal peace
would only be possible when all the
states Of Europe had formed fedora
ton in which they were all closely al
lied. but where each was to have alb
solute independence IN matters which
concerned itself alone.
The newest proselyte TO this creed Is
Lord Avebury, who, IN speech made
to a large number or workinsmen the
other day, said:
II am fully convinced that the best
course in the interest of peace is 20
strengthen the Huge Tribunal. which
will. in time. lead 10 the formation Of
the United States OF Europe.
Position Most Grave.
The present position of Europe Is
certainly most grave. In our own case
the naval and military expenditure has
risen IN ten years from sS,ooo.ooo pounds
to G6270. 900 pounds-an increase OF over
So. 100000 pounds-far more than that OF
Germany and France put together.
Moreover, We are told that our army
Is no stronger than II was five years
ago, when 1t cost US 10,o0o.eoo pounds
less.
"ExpeEd;tures Of this kind are the
curse OF modern times and are rapidly
driving every country in Europe to the
verge of bankruptcy
"A European federation would put an
end 20 this as it would then be no more
