r ONDON.-After q postwar dec
ade in which European nation
alism reached its highest devel-
IL opment since the Middle Ages,
is the dawn of United States
of Europe discernible, however family,
in the distance?
Will men of different races, with al
most incredibly complicated political,
economic. social and natural barriers
between them, at last agree to unlearn
the teaching of more than 1000 years
and cooperate for their common well
fare? Will they realize and unite, as
the North American Continent has
done, making an end Of their petty
jealousy? In other words, is Brands
scheme for a United States of Europe
practical politics-or is it just another
of the pretty but academic thoughts for
which Geneva provides so admirable a
sounding board?
Odds Are Against Unity.
Perhaps the strongest feature about
present discussion concerning the pos
sible formation of United States of
Europe Is the fact that only 10 years
after Versailles a premier of France
should be able to sponsor this idea and
retain his position.
It might be said, however, at the
outset that 1t would be difficult to find
serious student of European politics
who would accept any sort Of odds that

rather than of the older and more
familiar sense of enduring handicaps.
That the position of Ramsay Mac
Donald was made more difficult by rea-
son Of the course of Snowden at The
Hague cannot be gainsaid, but on the
other hand the Labor premier had a
good press and public at Geneva, be-
cause it is still recalled that his deci-
sion to come to Geneva in 1924 marked
the first step in the process that has
gradually extended until many prime
ministers and all foreign secretaries
expect to attend the assemblies.
Until the Young plan is actually ap-

financial details are cleared up it is.
OF course, premature to regard the
European slate as clean. But no one
now doubts that in the end. after much
eloquence and many protests. both the
French and German parliaments will
bow to the inevitable. Then for five,
perhaps even for 10, years the question
of reparations will cease to trouble and
that of military occupation will be per-
manently disposed of.
Difficult Questions on Hand.
But if the old problems arising di-

 Advocates of a rigid observance of Sunday were warning on bicycle riders. Strict Connecticut Sabha- tarians have for several weeks been scattering tacks early Sunday mornings over the new bicycle path from Mcridcn to North Haven" the New York Sun reported. "Thcir de- sign is to discourage bicyclistS from breaking the Sabbath by riding. In many cases washers have been fitted to the tacks in order 10 make them stand upright and render them the more certain to puncture a pncu- matic tire"

BITTER STRIKERS
 BURY VICTIMS
DenunciatiOnS Of Southern Mill
 Conditions at Funeral

Marion, \. C., Oct. 4 T-Fun- eral hymns mingled with bitter de- nunCiations of southern mill condl- tions here today as strikers from the Marion Manufacturing company S mill conducted public services for four of five men killed in riot Wednesday when the strike began.
 Formal investigation of the vio- 1cnce in which five men lost thelF lives and a score others were ln- iurcd, was temporarily halted by Judge w. r. Harding to allow ar rested strikers to attend the funeral. It was scheduled to be resumed later in the day at which time Judge Harding will examine 5 persons ar rested on various charges in connec- ton with the trouble.
 Calls It "BlacA Outrage"
 Rev. A J. Mustc, of Brookwood Labor College, Katonah, N. Y, who preached the funeral sermon, declar- ed that "in all the stormy history of labor in America, there has been no blacller outrage than this. When the strikers at the Marion mill re- fused to submit like whipped CUTS and when an agreement was violated they wele shot down in cold blood and one of them, a man who had endured 67 years of life under in human conditions, was given the glorious reward of being put on the operating table with handcuffs on him."
 Referring to a previous strike at the mill, Rev. MT. Muste said that, ''all the paraphernalia of the law, all the force of the state was used to crush their strike. When they made an agreement it was violated, tread upon like a scrap of paper"
 Francis J. German, first vice pres idcnt of the United Textile Workers of America told the funeral assem- bly that "the Marion massacre means the beginning of the end of industrial slavery in the south.
 We invite the United States sen ate" he said, Ito come here and in vcstigate conditions; investigate this tragedy; investigate the massacre of these people.
 Says Mills Responsible
 Tom Typpett, of the Brookwood college charged the mill officials and local police with being "directly re- sponsiblc for the sl@yingc.'
 They released tear gas bombs" he said, "and when the strikers were blinded by gas that gang of thugs and murderers shot them down like iats while they were trying to run away.
 You ask me to have love tor those who committed these mur- ders," he shouted. Hoy can l have love in my heart for them? There can be no peace in the south, there can be no love in the south until the textile workers are relieved from Scrfdom.'
