The SCENE in general is based on
the theory that economic solidarity
is essential for stability and peace.
1t contemplates federation of the
various nations of Europe, first on
an economic basis and later politi-
cally.
Patterned After u. s.
Most Of the recent advocates Of
the federation would pattern it
broadly after our own United
States Of America. Each state
would be sovereign in its own sphere,
with . powerful centralized govern
ment. The central legislature would
also be based on ours. The program
would involve customs union. DOS
sibly a unified currency. removal of
artificial trade barriers, regrouping
of industries and specialization ac-
cording to the district naturally
best suited to each.
The theory is that this fedora ton
would provide security from inter-
European war, would neutralize the
continent in event of outside con.
f1ict. would give prospect of dis.
armament, and would insure the
ability of member states to COM
pete industrially in the worlds mar.
kets.

Argentina Said Planning
To Cut u. S. Auto Imports

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. % (P).-
A reliable source said yesterday the
Argentine government planned to
cut 1910 imports of United States
automobiles to approximately one
half the 1889 quota.
Argentina's severe restriction Of
auto imports this year already had
caused sharp protests in North
American industrial circles.
1t was said the planned cut would
be made regardless of the progress
of negotiations for a trade pact
between the two nations.
Argentina was reported willing to
admit only 100000 worth of
United States vehicles in the next
quota year. which begins December l.
The Exchange Control Board for
the current year approved permits
for about SIT 500 900 worth.
OF that amount s8,800,000 was ad-
mitted as the first quarters quota.
1t was stipulated the remainder
would be admitted only after auto
mobile importers agreed to subscribe
to three-year Argentine treasury
bonds for the exact amounts of the
additional import permits.
Observers said Argentina was fol-
lowing her policy of diverting as
much trade as possible to those ma
tions which are her best customers.
They pointed out that Great Brit
ain. principal buyer Of Argentine
beef, shipped automobiles here this
year almost without restriction.

The biggest news to come out of
Europe in maybe q generation
bigger even than the declaration of
the Hitlerian war-was contained on
thumb nall In Prime Minister
Chamberlains empire broadcast, If
the British leader meant what he
seemed to mean In outlining peace

A good many observers concluded
that in Ms brief discussion Of "how
We may build to a new and better
Europe "Utopian Europe" he
called tt-he was announcing q
tentative project to make the age
old dream Of United States Of
Europe" q reality in some form or
other.
Such q regime would be calcu-
lated to insure peace. security and
economic stability. There would be
neither war nor disputes like that
between Finland and Russia under
such setup-if it met the hopes OF
its exponents.
Cutting Down of Arms.
The Prime Minister spoke OF q
Europe in which fears of aggres-
sion would have ceased" in which
1T would be recognized that there
can be no lasting peace unless there
is full flow Of trade between the
nations concerned" and in which
"armaments would gradually be
dropped as useless expense, except
in SO far as they were needed for

BY The Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 28.-
Robert A. Taft, Republican, of Ohio,

Senator Taft, touring the Mid

Marley Sees Canada Link
Between j. ). and Britain

MONTREAL, Nov. % canadian
Press Foreign policies of Great
Britain and the United States might
be kept on common ground through
Canada's influence in the British
Empire, says Lord Marley, deputy
speaker Of the British House of
Lords.
Addressing the Montreal Peoples
Forum last night, the visitor said
Canada is the link between the
United States and the British Com
monwealth of Nations, and it is
Canada's task to continue as such" ("
Canada, he said, could influence
Britain in international affairs, par
ticularly in relations with the
United States.

dian Club Lord Marley suggested
that the United States should have
part in treaty arrangements when

inevitable black sheep in the flock,
and, according to the older men
who were in the last war, wonder
fully spiritual in outlook despite
the doubts and difficulties which
possess the modern mind. Many of
them are convinced that this war
is crusade against the powers of
darkness and that they will really
be fighting to save Christianity
against the crooked cross" which
brought back cruelty and brutality
in a frontal attack against Chris
tian ideals. I doubt whether they
put 1t in those words, but am told
that is how many Of them see this
war, according to their chaplains,
with whom they talk most seriously
now and then. They do not say
such things to men like me when
chatting in their billets.
Concert parties are coming out
from England to give an extra touch
to that sense of having gone into
winter quarters, as in times past.
But you must not imagine that we
are having a gay old time of it here
because Oracle Fields came into a
French town surrounded by British
soldiers or because Seymour Hicks
appeared one night with a group Of
pretty ladies in an old French hos
telry far behind the lines He is
coming out again along the lines Of
communication 1t is not gay old
time for tens of thousands of men,
looking after their guns in lonely
places or holding a bit of line with
the grimmest aspect and on the
alert day and night, in foul weather
with their feet in mud and rain on
their capes.
1t is not a gay old life for the
British Army in France, but con-
slant state of duty and discipline
for that time when there may be
hard fighting and all those sacrifices.
Those serve who only stand and
wait. That might be their motto
now 1t is all very difficult, as they
used to say in another war.

One Lifeboat Overturned.
One of the II seamen picked up by

opened fire without warning"
His account differed in this re-
spect from that of the admiralty
They battered the Rawalpindi,
whose guns were Ineffective against

he said.
Several of us escaped in life

by this time, the Rawalpindi
seemed on the point of sinking.
"As we were tossed about in the
high seas, the Deutschland put on
full speed and passed the lifeboat,
almost swamping it. We were ex-
tremely bitter about this because we
felt it was deliberately done. We
later managed to rescue a man from
an overturned lifeboat All the others
were drowned when the boat cap
sized"
The Chitral, which picked up the
RaWalpindis wireless call for aid,
arrived on the scene as a snowstorm
churned the icy waters, but managed
to rescue the boatload of men in the
gathering gloom.
The admiralty and the British
press hailed the Rawalpindi men to-
day as heroes who fought gamely
against overwhelming odds.
The admiralty said a day-and-
night search was being pressed for
the German raiders, whose location
thus was learned for the first time
since the Deutschland captured the
American freighter City of Flint off
Newfoundland october 8.
