boundaries Of United Europe. He
cited Eastern Europe as a warning
to his audience to take steps to
preserve their human rights:
There are number of ancient
and famous European States
which are no longer free to take
their stand for those human
rights Of which they have so great
O. need. The yoke of the Kremlin
oligarchy has descended upon
them. and they are the victims
OF. O. tyranny more subtle and
merciless than any hitherto known
to- history
Mr.. Churchill advocated, in ef-
feet, a change in the basic struc-
ture of U.N. in the direction OF
a grouping of regional organiza-
tions. of which united Europe
would be one:
II have always felt during the
war that the structure of world
security could only be founded on
regional organizations. Regional
organizations are encouraged by
the constitution of the United
Nations, but they have so far
played no effective part.
Sin consequence, the supreme
body has been numbered and con-
fuFed by a mass Of questions,
grsat and small, about which only
a Ebabel of harsh voices can be
heard. Large regional units are
necessary elements in any scheme
Of world government.
He said that unless UN. is thus
strengthened it would bring only
immense disappointment and
disaster to all good people
throughout the world"
He was Scornful of U. MS abil-
ity to secure peace for the world
under the present structure.
I'VE have all been grieved and
alarmed" he said. "by the fact
the new United Nations organiza
tion should have been so torn and
frustrated.
I'm spite of the faithful efforts
that have been made by the rep
resentatives of many countries,
great and small, the new organi-
zation to which we have looked
for guidance in our problems and
guardianship in our dangers al
ready has been reduced to a
brawling cockpit where taunts
and insults are flung back and
forward. as they occur.
"An institution in this condl-
ton cannot have authority to pre-
vent the approach Of a new war
and is in danger of losing the
confidence and even the respect
of those who we're most ardent
for it's creation"
The reasons for this situation,
he said, were the Communist ide-
ological aggression and the faults
in the u. N. structure.

"If anybody makes such a hy-
pothesis, it means that he thinks
Italy should wage a war against
Soviet Russia for reasons that
the American millionaires would
like to fight the Soviet Union-be-
cause the Soviet Union is not a

Steady rain scattered a Mardi

The procession 'of 29 floats and

Theme of the pageant was

0NCE again the "timc" ques-

Becker had to cast the final vote
in favor of mo change" after
councilmen had split in their de-
cisions. And once again it be-
came evident that our solons in
Columbus should do something
about the annual mix-up. We
firmly believe that the great ma.
jority of local residents does not
want fast time, and that any
change now would inconvenience
more people and cause more con-
fusion. Erie Ordnance Depot
workers are on their summer
schedule, which starts one-half
hour earlier than usual. A change
now would cause havoc with
their schedules. Local people
working in Sandusky do have
cause for complaint, but from all
indications Sandusky will not be
on fast time next year. Because
of an ordinance, councilmen in
that city went against the wishes
of the majority last month in
changing to daylight time. This
fall, Erie county voters will de-
cide the issue in the election. Ii
this city changes to fast time
now, it would be the western
most city in Ohio operating on
such schedule. If a public opin-
ion poll would be taken in this
