 League to Consider Plan

Paris, July 9 tP-Orga ganization Of Europe as regional, continental entity under the aegis of the League of Nations and attempted solution as such of both political and econo- mic problems, is understood to he the project of foreign minister ATS tide Briand of France.
 At the League of Nations assem- bly in September, NJ. Briand propos- es to explain the broad outlines Of his plan, which, however does not embrace the ambitious idea of foim- ing a new political institution With 2 parliament and president, United states of Europe Proposed
 His much discussed idea of "l,nitcd States of Europe" will par take more of the nature of Nolltl- cal entente with European states meeting at regular periods to study current questions of pressing inter- est to Europe.
 Numerous other statesmen. like Renes of CzechoslaVakia, want 10 build up prosperous Europe. t3r from being directed against m" United States, its role is conceiNai as bencftng American because II would open up bigger markets TOT American goods.

 The league has already tackled this problem but more must b" done before Europe reaches ecoro- mic unity.

He wishes to crown his idea Of renunCiation Of war contained in the Kellogg pact and his peace efforts at Locarno and Geneva by constructing an organ1- zation within the framework of the league which will still further re- duce the possibilities of war in Eu- rope.
 The impression prevails in Paris that M. Briand had purposely per- mittee his scheme to get wide pub licitv in order to see what reaC'!on the European nations would have to it.
