Since that time the amount has been

the record is remarkable one, con-

A UNITED EUROPE
WOULD MEAN PEACE
Possibility of Dream of W. T. Stead, of the Federation of
the Powers of Europe For the Common Welfare and
Lasting Peace of Continent.

Of Europe might become an accom-
plished fact.
Advantages of United Europe.
After his Investigations al over Eu.
rope he came to the conclusion that
one of the great steps to bind Europe
together is to break down the tariff
walls between the nations. and while
admitting that this would be difficult
to achieve. he believed it would not
be insuperably difficult OF the advan-
tages Of united Europe, Sir Max said:
When the unity of Europe is firmly
established great European wars
would become impossible. The Excess
sive armaments would become unnec-
essary and would gradually disappear.
Security would become greater Mon
ey would become more plentiful. Pros
perity would increase by leaps and
bounds. Salaries and wages would
rise.
For not only could hundreds OF mil
lions Of pounds which are now spent
on ornaments be saved and be applied
to Industrial and other productive pur-
poses, but the productive power of mil.
lions of ablebodied men. who now
spend their time in military drill,
would be added as an important factor
in producing the things required by
mankind"

$4,000 Raised
To Fight Canker
Trade Bureaus
Being Planned
For The Extending Of Trade With
Countries of South America.

Jacksonville.-The Southern Settle
ment and Development organization
Is planning to establish two fully
equipped bureaus with competent
stats in South America, one on the
east coast, and one on the west, to
take care of southern exporters, &C
cording to H. H. Richardson, acting
director of the commerce and indus
try department and formerly secre-
tary of the Jacksonville Board of
Trade, who has been in the city for
several days investigating the facil-
tiles of Jacksonville as the export
point for the southeast.
These two bureaus, he explained,
will be permanent, and will, therefore,
serve the southeastern manufacturers
who go to South America to work up
their markets, not only by furnishing
valuable information as to the condi-
lions, but will also serve in the i'm
portant capacity of giving the visit
ing manufacturer a resident introduc-
ton to his prospective customer. They
will have to be put in charge of men
with a wide understanding of south
eastern conditions, as well as those
of South America, and will have to be
able to speak number of languages,
as well as be of the highest integrity
and most sterling character This
will be necessary in order to make
themselves felt and respected by the
South American merchants, which
will make the introductions valuable.
Mr.. Richardson has compiled fig
ures showing the value of goods i'm
ported into various Central and South
American countries in 1912 from the
United States, the United Kingdom,
Germany and France.

The name United States o. Europe"
is continually being mentioned in dis
cussions of what is going to happen
after the present war is over and
peace is here Numerous well inform
ed men, says the New York Times,
have declared themselves as believing
that peace will be maintained hereaft-
er by the United States Of Europe-a
federation of the powers for the com
mon welfare and lasting peace of the
continent.
If the United States of Europe be-
comes an accomplished fact it will
mean the realization of the dream Of
the late William r. Stead and the
fulfillment of the aims of the European
Unity league, which was founded by
Sir Max Waechter and was hard at
work just before the war in further
ing its purposes.
Mr.. Stead, in using the term the
United States of Europe. declared that
the phrase was naturally suggested by
the United States of America. The
latter" he used to say, enables the
former to be at least thinkable." Ma
poleon ILL. Mr.. Stead pointed out.
used to dream of constituting some
kind Of federation of Europe.
Called Conference on Subject.
Sir Max Waechter. a German by
birth. though naturalized English
man since 1865, worked with Mr.. Stead
toward the proposed federation Of Eu-
rope, the formation of the European
Unity league being the outgrowth of
the work. In 1900 a congress was call
ed, on Sir Max's initiative. in Rome,
where delegates from various nations
discussed the feasibility Of a fedora
ton. 1t was not conference Of gov
ernments, but of eminent men from
all parts of Europe.
A few years ago Sir Max made
tour of Europe and laid the plan be-
fore sovereigns and governments. He
studied the difference between the ma
tons and was led to the conclusion
that it was not an impossibility to
bring about European federation.
Last year Sir Max estimated that the
armed peace was costing Europe S.
000,O00,O00 yearly, declaring that all
progress was retarded by this expendi-
ture. In discussing the question of
ornaments he made a prophetic fore
cast, saying that Europe might soon
find relief from militarism in a mighty
war.
Once the great masses of the popu-
lations of he great powers became
convinced thai federation of Europe
would mean permanent peace, and
once they could be educated up to APP
preciate the blessings Of such peace,
