while such differences of opinion as

like to stress, is the very authority
which before the Civil War it had
been asked to decide in favor of one

Finally. as for the British Empire and
its connection with the United States of

immaterial what England elects to do

ions and. having done so, enter into
some further union with the new fed
Grafton that we would have created, or
whether she has other plans in mind
In any event. am certain that it is
with the greatest amity and good will,
and with the most cordial and constant
relations between ourselves and the
British Empire, that the United States
of Europe will be constituted and the
evolution developed which have had
the hardihood to PROFOUND In this
article.
The same cordial relations and good
will would. am sure, exist between the
new union and the United States of

may then have been constituted, whether
in South America or elsewhere, to in
crease the markets and the exchange

aware Of vast new forces at work and
of great creations that have arisen al
most by magic, with their foundations
resting on a soil, both figurative and
real, that was devastated by the World
War beyond apparent hope of recovery.
In view Of what has happened in the
last 10 years it is almost impossible to
recall the prophecies of economists and
students of the worlds affairs during
the war itself. when the daily toll of
destruction Of single week seemed
greater than whole nations could re-
store in the course of a lifetime. Then
1t seemed only a sober commonplace
to say that for at least generation the
world could not be as prosperous and
be again as it had been in the years
before the war.
Yet, today not only is the standard of
living higher generally throughout Eu-
rope. as well as in America, than 1t was

brought within the range of practical
settlement. The long lean years have
proved to be the richest in our history
and our prosperity is shared by those
who are called upon to pay the bill Of
the vast extravagances Of war.
1t Is therefore somewhat misleading
to talk about the postwar period as an
era Of reconstruction, although on the
whole we have no better name for it.
Strictly speaking, reconstruction sug-
gests rebuilding that which had been
destroyed in q way to restore the edifice
of the past. 1t implies old lines and
reproducing old models. restoring a
shattered age as the architect restores
the fabric of q Rheims Cathedral. In
the political world the term "reconstruc-
ton" suggests that the pre-war govern
ments should be re-established as the
statesmen of the restoration period at

BY PAUL PAINLEVE.
Former Premier of Francs.

T HE idea of a United States of
Europe is many centuries old;
there is nothing meritorious in
L having thought Of It, To have
dared to think it could be real
lied and was not a mere utopia is
very different proposition. Doubtless
there are many positive and thoughtful
men-probably the majority-who re-
gard such a scheme as chimera, at
least for the present and for many CEN
| turtles to come. Yet we have before us
the example of the United States of
America as evidence of what is pos
sible. Who could possibly have fore
seen IS years ago, after the terrible
War of Secession, that States which
had been fighting one another desper-
ately for years, would join together in a
union free of any constraint whatso-
ever and reposing on a perfectly har-
monious basis?
| But the skeptic will say, Surely
there is no resemblance between the
situation of Europe today and that of
the United States in the past" And
| certainly there are many and varied
contrasts between them. Let us ex-
anime them, however, and try to dis
Germ what were the forces in America
favorable to the Union and what were
| the forces antagonistic.
There is no doubt that the States of
the American Union are not nations in
the same sense as the states belonging
to the European Continent They pos
sessed neither multiplicity of Ian
guages and currency, nor-what Is per-
| haps even more important-had they
separate national cultures. Lacking
these, their social lives did not crystal
| lie into those mutually exclusive ira
ditions which in Europe create a ma
tionaP' patriotism and inspire this ac-
| tivity.
War Led to Closer Union.
Such frontiers as they had were,
therefore, not European frontiers
limits within which the national life is
created and at which in consequence
have grown up economic boundaries,
custom barriers, tariff walls. etc. They
are arbitrary districts in which human
agglomerations. varying in origin and
speech, gradually become merged into
one federal unity. Nevertheless. you
meet in the United States enormous
| entities whose interests are by no means
concordant. Was it not this very dis
ccrdance that brought on the War of
Secession? And yet this war, instead
of splitting up America as many for a
time had anticipated, ultimately led to
its closer union and made 1t ir1dlssoluble.
/
the War of Secession was very trifling
incident, If compared with our modern
wars. and especially with the one we
have recently survived. The War of
Secession was by no means as insig-
nlficant as made out; it was, on the
contrary, a terrible conhict-one that
can be compared quite easily with the
great war of 1914, if account is taken
of the economic and ethical develop
ment of the American Continent. 1t
was terrible in the destruction and
cruelty that was displayed and in the
hatred that it awakened In the men
surviving it, while the big problem
which had brought it about remained
unsolved with the victory of the North
ern armies.

WASHINGTON, Feb. GA new

April Is.
The United Press learned this

will be appointed to the agriculture
committee can sit officially in hear
ings to be held for drafting the bill.
Hoover is expected to detail his
farm relief suggestions in his special
message to the extra session and the
view will be given in advance to
members drawing the bill so that
the measure can be ready for pre-
sentation as soon as congress con-
veneS.
Majority Leader Tilson said the
house is so we'll versed on the agri-

Establishment of children's hos
pital in Russia in memory of the
late Paxton Hibben, formerly Of In

mittee formerly in New York City,
it was announced today.
Mr.. Hibben'S ashes were placed
in the north wall of the kremlin
in Moscow Feb. 5, in memory of his
activities in behalf of starving Rus
sian children.
In 1922 Mr.. Hibben returned from
tour of the famine area and or
ganized the American Committee
for Relief of Russian Children. De-
spite bitter attacks by powerful or
carnations he raised enough in the
first year to save $4,000 children
from starvation. Then he led in
establishment of a model hospital.
a farm home and home and work
shops in different parts of the Soviet
country. Before his death he was
planning the children's hospital.
The associates of Mr.. Hibben now
plan to carry on this work.

measure was introduced by Senator

senators adopted both measures up
roariously.
The Cooper bill, lifting the forty
mile speed limit in the state, was

conviction will depend on the cir

who declared the measure sought to
aid sound banking practice by
guarding against organization Of
banks for purely political reasons.
